Just did the first trial fit of my new engine today. Just to see where everything would go. There will be some fiddeling with the enginemounts to have it in the right position.

, Jan! Do you have any mods planned for the motor?
Not yet, primary goal now is to get everything in place and running. I want to drive it next summer. It will of course get headers so a matching cam for that might be put in, we'll see.
My word for warning... If your on a budget. Get the engine running in stock form first. Then mod it. If you mod first and you have no clue if the engine ever did run. You'll be using your precious money on fixing it.
It looks like you already have an U/D pulley on there, and how is your clearance on your brake booster with the coil packs installed? I had to change my booster because it was hitting there.
I'd swap in a cam and valve springs, it's pretty easy when you have the access to the motor like that. It should still run on a stock tune, it just wouldn't be ideal.
I see you are moving right along. Are you building your own headers or getting the ones for Street and Performance? I heard that Stainless works is making a long tube for the LS1 that can be used for your application. They were only making them for the BRP/Yearone swap.
I believe that Tyler (ATS)is making a set as well.
Do you have the clearance to run the alternator in the stock location or does it hit the frame?
