So. It gets better and better.
Now the Parts Manager at Jerry's Chevrolet is holding up the refund while he finds out if Chevy wants compensation for the torn cardboard box. "I'm gonna have a hell of a time selling it now."
Immediately called the dealerships General Manager, and my claims rep at GM backend.

I can't make this stuff up, lol.
6 weeks later, and an hour at the dealership ruining some people's day, GM is taking back the block. Refund being issued today. Time to get back to work.

Slowly gathering parts. Holidays are expensive.
Nick Williams 92mm, don't mind if I do
What's wrong bud? Bummed about the motor crap?
Let's fix that.

Thanks!!
Tracked down a semi-fsm-like PDF for the LS3, and of course, stuff I missed. So much yet to get.....
Did some wiring. Decided I don't need the fuse block in the glove box anymore, since all that would be on it are gauges. Ran power, and put a momentary interrupt switch where the fan override was. (GM fans are ECU controlled). Now when gauges go crazy and need resetting, can just push a button. (Couldn't reach fuse block glove box anymore due to harnesses...lol.) Then again, hoping some better grounds and notched cups to avoid pinched wires will help avoid future craziness.
Grabbed LED's to try in the S15 cluster, see how that goes. Gotta fill the gap in the wedge socket with some dumbdumb to keep the LED in place. Damn funny T6.5 JDM sockets....
After that, run the wideband wiring, and everything can be reinstalled short of the glove box. Waiting to be able to move the heater core for harness passthrough.
Also hunting down possible locations for the Accusump. Not sure if I'm in love with the under-dash setup. Maybe trunk passthrough deck? IDK.
Took the cam and timing kit to the machine shop, let them degree it vs. spending 100 bucks on timing parts just now.
Ordered some ARP head bolts and some random bits. Also ordered adapter fittings to turn the LS oil pressure sending unit into a 1/8 NPT fitting for my aftermarket gauge. Snagging some Comp truninons while I'm at it.
