93 Z28 6.0 Swap Well, I've been working on this for awhile now and finally decided to make my own build thread.
Here's the rundown:
2003 LQ9 (freshened up, Clevite bearings, Total Seal Rings, ARP rod bolts etc.)
LS3 heads / intake
EPS 23x/24x .60x/.60x 112
1 7/8 Hooker LTs
TH400 w/4k Stall
Moser 9in (with either 3.90s or 4.11s, I haven't decided yet)
I'm shooting for 10.xx (125ish) NA at 3300lbs (or less) race weight. Later on I'm going to throw on a 100 shot and see what I can get.
Here's a few pictures of the car with the LT1 still in it.

That's gonna suck on the street with no overdrive and 4.10's. I bet your highway speeds will be at like 4.5K minimum. 
I'm planning on dropping back down to 3.73's even with overdrive.

I'm not real concerned too much with how drivable it is as long as the state lets me hang plates off of it I'm fine, lol. It's a weekend car more than anything, and the 10pt cage wouldn't be too nice for street driving anyway, lol. It may see more street time down the road when the next BBC project comes around then I'll put a 4L80E behind it.

As of right now (just to get it running), Walbro 255 in-tank (13.5v), a Corvette filter, and stock rails. In the not too distant future, the car is getting a fuel cell, AN front to back, and dual in-line 255s. I'm going to be cutting out the T-top storage part of the trunk level with the frame rails, welding in a raised floor even with the rails, and hanging the cell under there.
Also, as an update, I got my Spohn tubular solid motor mounts in (via TSP). Still waiting on some things from the dealer, hardened push rods, ARP motor mount bolts, and Stage 8 header bolts to be delivered.
For the time being, the car is going to be relatively stock with the new motor (I'm just trying to get it fired and operate under it's own power right now), I still need to tear down and rebuild the TH400 (including cutting off the stock bell in favor of an Ultra Bell), and putting together the Moser 9in. After that, the 10pt cage and fuel cell are going in and off to the body shop for a paint job and stripes. I know, it's kind of being put together backwards, lol.
