Very nice build, subscribed. Can you pm me on what to look for on those "ebay" arms? Are there any down sides to using them that you have heard of? I am also doing the LS1 brake swap on my 67, great work on your subframe, looks VERY nice.
Also, are you planning on using Carshop 1" setback plates for that motor? They seem to work well with those headers...

Sorry guys. ive been busy ordering and working on some parts. I made a firewall and took out the vents in my cowl. I also made the custom vallance, still need to cut the inter cooler opening. Also, ordered a mini tub kit and a billet grill and the DSE electric motor kit. Oh yeah, i also picked up some gauges... man those gauges are pricey lol. oh well, i need them. Well let me know what you think. I like the comments..

Test fitted my engine and trans ... eh a few issues. Well i knew the gto procharger wasnt going to work. I wanted to mount my engine in the standard location but my trans mount is not going to allow me to do this... eh. so i positioned it once inch back, which allowed perfect alignment with the x- factor crossmember... but caused a new issue... my alternator hits the crossmember of the frame. 
If it ain't one thing its another lol Well, i guess i will be in the market for the procharger transplant bracket. Hopefully i can get a good deal on a used one. Since our company lost there contract, im out of a job... so nothing new lol. 
Well, here is a pic of where im at now. test fit

Heres some more pics of where im at now. McLeod rxt clutch and flywheel and magnafuel pump and regulator. Also, thinking about placing the fuel cap here. It allows me to fill my cell tank from the out side. What do you guys think? Now keep in mind... it will be counter sunk a inch or so.
