I think I should have posted this here instead of the Gen IV internal engine.
Ok I'm gathering a slew of parts for this build This is what I have so far, please help me with any parts that I'm missing

Things I have bought:

- lq9 complete intake to oil pan including front drive assembly and coils
- fully P&P procomp l92 heads. fully assembled.
- victor jr intake mani
- Custom built 810 cfm carb
- Custom EPS Cam
- lt1 t56 conversion parts. (Ls1 bell housing, input shaft, front, plate, slave cyl, and shims)
- monster level 4 clutch package with flywheel from TSP
- 1 7/8'' headers from TSP
- l92 rockers
- 13204 aeremotive EFI to Carb regulator.
- Spohn ls1 solid motor mounts.
- comple 6.0 gasket kit
- ls1 k-member with rack and pinion (stock fbody)

Parts I'm tracking I need or want:
NEEDS
- msd mls timing box
- ls master cylinder (or can my lt1 work?)
- arp head bolts (what is the difference between gen 3 and 4? thats why i have not bought them yet.)
- bigger return line for the regulator

Gaskets? Oil filter? Sounds like you are there.

The bolts are 97-04, they had majority long bots and a couple short, the 05 up have all short bolts.

ok good. the guy told me it was out of a lq9 out of an 04 escalade. so I need the 3'' head bolts.

I think I'm just going to wait 3 weeks till I get home to order the msd box, just so I can check and make sure which reluctor wheel it has.

What about the master cylinder and my lt1 clutch pedal? do I have to swap those aswell?

A ls1 radiator would probably be best.

is there a write up any where on doing the vertical radiator mod to make more space, I would assume it would be as simple as just welding on a few new brackets.
