I like the attitude.
What mounts are you using?

Im gonna run the S&P style mounts with their headers and an Autokraft pan. for the trans i haven't decided yet, I'm gonna play that by year, for right now ill just say the trans is getting mounted however it will work. The engine is not in yet, this is just how i plan to mount it.

I saw your post on ROP good to see things are coming along.I've been fighting with wether to keeping my 70 cutlass all olds, but you just can't beat these new LSX engines. I think i'm going to go with some LSX power myself the thought of my crank wanting to come out of my block just doesn't sit well with me. Plus it gives me a reason frequent this site more often, now I just have to get rid of my 455. Good luck with the swap

Today I did some work on the Cutlass. I installed the LS6 springs, cleaned the motor up some, removed intake, accessories and waterpump. Did a little "fitment research" involving flipping the headers upside down and mounting accessories, I think you know why Anyhow, I got some brake work done too.

Well guys after a few months of collecting parts, and the car collecting dust, most of them have came in, I have cam install gaskets ordered and ARP rod bolts on the way, still trying to fund the oil pan. Heres the official parts list: Comp custom grind on XE lobes 224/230 .569/.578 114+4, Rollmaster double roller chain, Comp Hi-tech pushrods, Katech ported LS6 oil pump, LS6 yellow valve springs, ARP rod bolts, P&P TB and Fuddle 3200 2.0 str stall. And once tax season gets here this all will have extra motivation from a maggie, if the IRS doesn't F$%^ me.
