Looks good, whats the specs on the new motor? No thermostat on the intake, so is it still an LT1 block?

I don't know the specs off hand, I do know that we've gone to a SBC block. I'll get the owner to chime in when he has a chance.

Wow nice I had to look 2 times before I saw the coolant fittings at the 4 corners of the intake going to the heads. I was going to ask how the hell you were going to keep from getting hot spots but now I know. lol
