Default LQ4 6.0L swap into my 67 chevy pickup, pics at link inside

my website is down as i'm changing my host. i've uploaded some pics at my yahoo profile.

i have pics of the headers i made, my coilpacks i'm using with Megasquirt, and engine bay shots. the transmission is out right now so i have some pics from behind the engine to under the truck.

i'm selling my complete 6.0l swap with megasquirt, ignition headers everything, see my post in the for sale section on ls1tech.

that can't be! The 8.1 isn't an ls1 and therefore wasn't touched by the hand of god

did you check the fire order of the cyl. on the 8.1 as they are diff. that the 502 /454 engine 1 - 8 - 7 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3

and the wrong cam lobe placement would cause that mess as the valves would hit the pistons
