so i have been looking around and now that alot of the body work is done and the wireing harnes is about to be installed now i need an engine. i found some LQ9s on ebay that seem to be complete.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-0-LITER-VORTEC-ENGINE-MOTOR-CADILLAC-ESCALADE-LQ9-96K-COMPLETE-DROP-OUT-/150792576486?hash=item231bf01de6&item=150792576486&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_531wt_1163
other than a fuel pump,lines and a new oilpan for that what am i missing to make this work.

This seems like an awesome deal.

i plan on mating it to the stock 2speed powerglide love the tranny may someday upgrade to a manual but for now what do i need to make this work?

thx guys (didn't there used to be a tone of stickies on this subject)

Looks like a decent price and comes with everything too...

Motor mount adapters
Headers...optional ?
Flywheel spacer

Just a few items off top of head.
