As you can see the graphics shop made me a few extra decals. So if anyone wants some of the other ones let me know.

THAT is one CLEAN T/A! That engine looks like it grew there!

That was my plan. Try to keep the vintage look. Still running the original Super T10 4 speed with the mechanical clutch linkage and also using a mechanical clutch fan and the original fan shroud.

Nice Job! Details about the shaker base? I am considering something similar. I used the airaid u-built-it kit like you did but I am using a cone filter behind headlight.

I fabricated the shaker box myself. It's a bit of work.

Again, really nice! I enjoy the stealthily "OEM" look. I'll bet nobody even notices the swap unless they figure out the air intake tube. I relocated my coil packs to the firewall and have Pontiac labeled valve covers, many people walk by without ever noticing there is a LS1 in there. The corporate blue paint and clutch fan are nice touches. Did you keep the muscle car LH8 oil pan? What exhaust manifolds are you using?
