Man those heads look awesome! According to the flow numbers, the intake is almost flowing as good as an LS3 head! How you like the looks of the BRP kit? It seems to be well made. Cant wait to see how it all installs. I am hoping its smooth sailing for ya. Did you figure out what you are going to do for brakes? Whatever you do, dont throw away the brake drum hubs from the front. Some kits available, usually the large hat style rotors, use them with disc spindles. I shed mine years ago and regret not having them now.

I love some rallye wheels! I get the itch to change mine out from time to time but always come back to leaving the "stock appearing" look. I notice you have the rounded off Corvette trim rings on the back and the stepped Camaro rings on the front. They sell the smae style of trim ring for the 7's that will match the rears if interested. I bought a set of 4 stainless rings for like $50 on Ebay.
Good to see your starting on the new engine. Are you going to go all the way through it or just change the rod bolts? I swapped my rod bolts out without any issues but have heard about people running into problems distorting the big end since the ARP's are so much longer. I turn my 6.0 on up without nay issues and I did not resize my rods.
I have been lucky on air compressors. I have a Speed-Aire that I purchased 17 years ago and its still running strong. I change the compressor oil out periodically with Mobil 1 and so far so good. If it crapped out today I would be happy to buy another one just like it. Of course the next one will be a two stage. the increased volume and pressure would not only make it more useful but should last longer as well since it will not work as hard or run as continuous. I think the single stage I have is maxed out 140 psi and the two stage tops off at 175-185 psi. I have a large nitrogen tank I use if I need pressures above 140. You ought to hear my 900ft/lb impact with 225psi behind it!!!
Keep the pics coming!!! Best of luck to you on the swap.
