Looks good, stock with just a z06 cam? Wonder how that would work in my LQ9. What about a power estimate?

Looks redneck. Running it on a engine stand while hanging from the rafters. LOL.

Better to test it outside of the car than go through all of the work of getting it in the car and find out that it doesn't work.

Coolest test stand EVER. I agree its better to test outside the car if any issues that might arise.

I'm doing a LS1 into my 68 gto. I had a problem switching mounts as well. I was meticulous about making sure I did not get the mounts backwards, but I did anyway. They should hang off of the front of the cross member by a little less than an inch. Scroll down to the bottom and you'll find a picture here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...onversion.html

Hopefully that helps.
