Looks like a supper clean installation. But I feel like the aluminum treadplate over the heater box takes away from the nice job on the engine. A smooth, black firewall would really enhance what you did with the LS2. Either way - nice job and thanks for sharing pictures.

Yes they are eddy headers, its the eddy package from jegs that came with headers and mounts. I used the ctsv pan and it fit perfect.

Nice car. Which fittings are you using on the vette regulator/filter. I'm using a hose fuel system as well.
