Thanks I would appreciate it. Here is a link to my build I haven't really gotten into the swap part of it just the engine building. https://ls1tech.com/forums/carburete...-370-swap.html
I will probably have a few more questions for you before I'm done haha

These are the passenger side nuts a lil less space than the drivers side as you can see.
And these are the driver nuts, more space and easier to see the nuts. This side is the easy side shouldn't take that much.

Did you have the headers on before you put the bolts through the clamshells? If you leave the headers off until after the bolts are easy to get in, even with 1" setback plates. I've done 4 obs swaps and never had to spend more than a few minutes on those bolts, and the Shoenfelds will go on after the engine's in place. So will shorties and stock manifolds. Nice build by the way, I'm doing a 92 sport right now, LM7/4l60e swap.

Well, just ordered arp pressure plate bolts and chevy performance flywheel bolts. Arp bolts get here the 16th and the flywheel bolts don't ship til the 17th, just my luck. Well that isn't going to stop me, going to do my fuel setup and clean up the engine bay this weekend.

Great looking swap, My friend is in a search for a 90s single cab to swap out his ls1 and 4l60 out of his Camaro soon. This will help us out when the time comes, Thanks

The lines from your 1992 truck work with the ls power steering pump.
