Matt, I'm excited to follow this. Glad to see you diving in. I guess this means that I shouldn't bother swinging over with a timing light? I really anticipated getting by there by now, but dude I can't catch a break, due to work.
Thanks Scott. Come on by with the light! I plan to drive it as is as long as I can. I'll probably try to have 100% of the LS/fuel injection parts in the garage before I pull this motor so I can keep driving it. The motor will probably go in before a supercharger gets added so I can iron out any issues.

Thanks, yup m-parallel wheels! Once the mini-tub happens I'll have to replace them Not sure what I'll replace them with but not a standard muscle car wheel.

Had to get the LQ in short block form for shipping. Should go out tomorrow and then I wait on my LS6 short block to show up!
I'll probably re-use the 317 heads, undecided if I'll have any machine work done on them. I'm getting a new set of LS6 springs with the short block, not sure if they'll hold up to what I'm building but most say they will! So possibly just springs and a custom cam is all I'll need to do to the valve train? Hmm
Also need to decide on an intake. Currently I have a truck one which I need to toss up for sale. LS6 manifold and TB or FAST manifold and TB?
LQ water pump is so big. Probably toss it up for sale and get a vette one, should snug up closer to the block and look better. I'm so use to BMW water pumps, SO SMALL compared to this haha.

I see your looking at the dse tank but you might want to look in to a vaporworx / ricks tank if your going to pulling some G's with that.
as far as the brp swap kit. they make them around the lh8 gm pan and it puts the motor high. plus if you use the holly parts there is some one on here to help you out with any questions. don't forget they also make a ecu and harness that would work with your motor.

Thanks for the info, that backs up what I've been told other places as well. BRP is out, looking more towards the Holley parts. As far as ECU and Harness from Holley, which one are you referring to? One of these I assume? http://www.holley.com/types/HP%20EFI...ess%20Kits.asp Seems expensive vs a custom harness and stock ECU. I guess it's if you want the ability to tune it yourself vs having a 'tuner' do it.
I'l look into the vaporworx/ricks as well. I figured the DSE would be good with some G's with the baffling.

I've also sent Ricks Tanks an email regarding the specifics of the tank I'll need. Tubbed application that can support 750whp.
So while the snow and ice are here I'll continue to research and order parts!
