Any good LT1 engine build threads? I just picked up an LT1 for a project car I'm building, but it's in pieces. I've built old small blocks before, but this one has a few more pieces that I'm not sure how to set up. Are there any good threads on here (or anywhere else) that kinda walk through the rebuild process for the LT1s?

Quik95 - Excellent build. Are you running your windage tray? It looks like mine wasn't included with the box of parts...not sure if it's worth hunting down another one.
Ramair - I have access to alldata pro, but it doesn't have very detailed pictures so I can check to see if I'm missing any pieces. As mentioned above, I've assembled engines by the book before, and the LT1 looks really similar to the sbc, there are just a few things different about it that I'm not used to working with. If anything, I'll probably just use this thread to post pictures up and ask what the part is / where it goes if I can't figure it out.
Thanks for the input so far
