Default Pro touring 1967 Nova SS LS3 416 build

I haven't posted much, but I have done a lot of research on here and I give thanks to this site for having the information I needed to feel confident upon doing an LS swap in my car. To pay back, I'm sharing my progress on my swap with lots of pics.

I decided to do a mild build with my car, but try and keep it simple. I recently installed a new front clip before doing my swap. Here's the info on it all...

Car: 1967 Nova SS
-TCI pro-touring front clip with RideTech adj. coilovers, drop spindles, Wilwood brakes with 12" drilled/slotted rotors.
-Ford 9" with 4.11 gears

-Engine built by Mullenix Racing Engines (everything is brand new) LS3 416ci stroker (4.070" bore x 4" stroke), 255 71cc CNC Ported Heads, Custom Grind Lunati Cam with .650 lift, Lunati H-Beam Forged Rods, Lunati Forged Crank, Ross Forged Pistons, LS3 Intake, Holley 90mm Cable Throttle Body, Holley Fuel Rails, TCI Headers, Holley Valve Covers, LS7 Lifters, Melling Oil Pump, F-body Oil Pan, 42 lb. Injectors, Corvette Water Pump & Blancer, and Truck Alternator. Lokar Throttle Cable, Lokar dipstick, PSI Conversion Harness and 12200411 PCM.

-Trans built locally: Built 4L60E with Sonnax Smart Tech Input Drum, Sonnax 300mm Input shaft, Transgo full race shift kit, Sun Shell (the beast), 5 gear rear planet. Lokar Trans dipstick.
