This is after today's work. I got a late start, ran into a couple of problems, but I have everything set for tomorrow. I got to get the Balancer on, and then it's goin together. I had to modify the Motor Mounts, the Conversion Plates on the Engine spaced the Mounts out 1/4" wider on each side, so I had to move the ones on the K-Member to match that.

Well here is what I ended up with today..
I got to do some Wiring near the Ignition Switch, for some reason the Starter is not getting the proper Voltage. I tried to start it, and it was barely moving. I jumped it and it spun right over. That's where I ended the day..Car is full of all Fluids/Oil, and ready to start. After I take care of that, then I got to bleed the Brakes, and it's off to the Exhaust Shop.

It's good now..it's a runnin mother focker..
I can break loose the MT ET Streets that I have on it at 75 mph..and that is not trying too, it's just running really shitty cause it's pretty much un-tuned. It Cam-surges really bad.
The Wiring issue I think was a bad communication with the N/S Switch on the Car, for some reason the LS1 Computer is reading it differently, so I completely bypassed it.
I had a minor Cooling issue I had to work out as well.
