Update !! Well ive ben beating the snot out of this engine and it loves every second of it! i am super happy with the power band, and sound.
I had the same autometer tach not working issue as many other people on this site and i did like a few others and it works. I intalled a 4.7k ohm resistor and it works fine, but it does flutter below 1000 rpm.
Got the reverse lockout working too, but only opposite of how it should work. i wired it to my brake switch and the solonoid is engaged until i hit the brake........i almost slammed it in reverse at speed by accident, so that needs to get fixed tomorrow.
Having a heck of a time finding someone to crimp my ac lines, anyone want to sell a beadlock crimper cheap?

beautiful car...and really clean install! Seeing your tunnel, I now wish I would have done it that way instead of cutting down the middle and spreading it out.
how you did you do your clutch pedal? How's it working? Any clutch M/C worries alignment-wise? I didn't catch it earlier in the thread, sorry if there somewhere...

I went with the LS376 hot cam 480hp version. The idle is alittle loopy, but not bad at all, it souds mean just idling.

I am getting started on my 65 Swap as we speak. I am about to pull the trigger on the Edelbrock Adapter Plates, and the Energy Suspension motor mounts. How do I know I am getting the right ones for my car? Are you still happy with your plates and motor mounts?
Also on your accessory drive system which did you go with? I bought a LQ4 to put into my 65, but now I think I want to switch to a corvette accessory drive for looks and fit. I just am not sure where I can find the kit and if it will work in my 65 A body.

On a good note the new console has cup holders and I made a pretty penny selling my old one. LOL
