Yes, sir. It will fit right in the place on the factory LS block.

Hey Guys! Yes, I have some updates!

Joe at Fast Forward Racing Engines completed the shortblock assembly and I have brought it back to my shop:

This car now also has its own page on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/CharlotteTheSkylark/
