Looks really good. I too ventured away from a bbc. Love the LS but tuning has kicked my butt for a year.

Your install looks good. Just to let you know, the Hooker engine mounting brackets were designed to have the bolts installed with the threads pointing down and the nuts being installed inside the frame to provide proper clearance for the clamshell mounts.
