Thanks!
Had to get the LQ in short block form for shipping. Should go out tomorrow and then I wait on my LS6 short block to show up!
I'll probably re-use the 317 heads, undecided if I'll have any machine work done on them. I'm getting a new set of LS6 springs with the short block, not sure if they'll hold up to what I'm building but most say they will! So possibly just springs and a custom cam is all I'll need to do to the valve train? Hmm
Also need to decide on an intake. Currently I have a truck one which I need to toss up for sale. LS6 manifold and TB or FAST manifold and TB?
LQ water pump is so big. Probably toss it up for sale and get a vette one, should snug up closer to the block and look better. I'm so use to BMW water pumps, SO SMALL compared to this haha.

Shipped out the LQ block and due to the bad weather we've had the last few weeks down here I'm still waiting on the LS block to arrive. 
After some long searching and reading on tune options and harnesses I've decided to go with PSI:
Harness: PSI PN HAR-103 - http://secure.ultracart.com/catalog/.../HAR-1013.html
ECU/PCM: PSI PN PCM-1003 - http://secure.ultracart.com/catalog/.../PCM-1003.html
ECU/PCM Mount: PSI PN ACC-1030 - http://secure.ultracart.com/catalog/.../ACC-1030.html
HP Tuners Pro: PSI PN 6021 - http://secure.ultracart.com/catalog/...NERS/6021.html
I've also sent Ricks Tanks an email regarding the specifics of the tank I'll need. Tubbed application that can support 750whp.
So while the snow and ice are here I'll continue to research and order parts!

Good to hear! He's who I've been talking with via email. Quick responses and great info. I ask him some questions and he clarified exactly what I'd need and even suggested going a route that would save me some money - money I could have spent on his stuff. Great guy to work with so far.
John from PSI I bought mine a year ago, had a issue (my fault GROUND loose) and got a call back and some possibilites of what caused it.... Great guy and customer service..
He also was great on startup for some questions...
