Making the swap

Well im finally about to make the swap. Ive been gathering part for a little while now, and the lt1 is driving me insane so i have completely decided to get the lt1 running, pulling it, and selling it and swapping in my lq9 that has been in the shop for about 6 months now. So it looks like ill be spending some more time over here for a while. This will be my first swap so please dont bash to hard on my future noob questions.

Yea ive looked at that thread soooo many times and so many others. It will take a little while cause im still in college and work 2 jobs but ill get it together. My plans are going to be a budget mild bolt on, cam only for now. I still haven't quite decided what cam i will be using yet but it will be on the mild side because ill be using the stock heads.
