Here's a solid update. All progress from this update has happened within the past 7 days.
I put the LS1 Back together. It now has new rings, bearings, and gaskets. 236/238 602 lift Comp Cam, hardened pushrods, and new valve springs. The heads got a valve job, resurfaced, and shimmed springs.
Pics of motor being put together.

I took my last drive with the 305 this past Wednesday and parked it in the garage. After about 6 hours of removing this, disconnecting that, moving jackstands, "oh never knew that was there", etc, the 305/700r4 was ready to be pulled.
The lift was about 8" away from the nose, the pillow was there just for peace of mind.
Removed "clutter"
After alot of sanding, grinding, deagreasing. Oh, and did I say sanding and degreasing?
Etching Primer
Next is a little sanding, then the top coat.

So as of now, I'm rockin' the hydrualics look untill I get the pedals in, fuel pump, and the tons of other little misc parts required for the lsx/t56. LS1 and T56 should be in by the end of the week.
Heres a list of what I have planned for it after the LSX/T56 is installed and running
Brembo CTSV Brakes
Corbeau Leather Racing Seats w/ Reupholstered rear seats to match
Carbon Fiber Splitter
Rear Diffuser
XXR 526 Wheels
Weight Jacks Up front
UMI's New Coil Over rear suspension kit

Thanks,
Yeahp, we have smog tests in GA.
After 4 days of hard work, late nights to 2-3am. Countless trips to Autozone for small parts...
She sees light for the first time in about two months.
So the LS1 and T56 is officially installed. I got the pedals in to, complete pain, even without a dash board.
Next is installing the radiator hoses. Then hooking up wires. Hopefully I'll get it to start within the next few hours.
I keep hearing that the ls1 only needs 2-4 wires to actually start it. I'm having a hard time finding info on that. What wires are they? I've got the harness that came with the pullout. (2000 Trans am)

I haven't updated on ls1tech as much.
The car now has about 5k miles after the ls swap. I have been enjoying the new drivetrain. The t56 did blow, and had to have a complete rebuild.
I just need to tidy up some wires, get some new wheels, then I can move on to the fun stuff, such as the custom splitter, diffuser and go fast parts.
I took the exterior pictures today.

Well guys,
I picked up this Supercharger yesterday. Plans are to install this sucker, and have the time of my life. I'll get a smaller pulley, and they say you can block the "silencer ports", which will give you a nice loud whine. I might port it, but I need to do my research. It may not be a dyno queen, but fun factor is what I'm going for here.
Plan A
Get a Cowl SS hood, and mount the S/C a few inches on top of the plastic LS intake. I would have to fab up a stable enough mounting plate, and an idler system. Of course all the plumbing as well. I feel like this would be a cleaner setup.
Plan B
Do what the member Pocket did, and mount it on the passenger head at an angle. This is a tight fit, but I might be able to use the stock hood.
