Default 71 Ventura Turbo LQ4 4l80e

Hello All,
I've been building this car for a while and am now really getting going. I need all the input I can get to make this swap work
1971 Ventura had a 350/350 combo I swapped out for the lq4 4l80e
I rebuilt the 8.5 10 bolt with a truetrac and 3:42 gears.
Siemens Deka 80s
Sloppy stage 2 cam
pac 1218 springs
gen 4 grank with 24x
Gen 4 rods and pistons
Tanks inc tank and pump
80mm turbo with intercooler from vsacing
Caltracs with 2.5 drop split monos and 9 way adjustable shocks
Holley turbo swap pan
Planning on getting the Terminator X max to control everything.

I am swapping to ls1 disks front and rear. I just checked and there is no way my steelies 15" with a 5" backspace rims are going to fit.

I also have a Fowler log manifold and I am thinking it is not going to fit because of the cold side piping.

I will update as I go.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

What are "LS1"discs? LS1 is an engine, not a car.

That's how most people refer to the front brakes off of LS1 Camaros. Apparently they are different than the previous LT1 equipped vehicles.
At least that's what I've found when doing research for my S10 project.
