66 Nova LS2/T56 project I am new to this site but have been very impressed with the posts and the info. So I think this will be a great place to get input on my upcoming project. Here is the project:
66 Nova SS
LS2 and T56
Heidt's front clip w/air susp
Yearone trans crossmember
Stitz rear subframe w/Ford 9" and air susp
Vintage Air setup
Dakota Digital gauge cluster
Ididit column
Rockvalley stock replacement gas tank w/EFI in-tank pump
Griffin alum radiator
Speartech engine/throttle/cruise harness
Painless body rewire
No smog control issues (it's exempt in Calif.)
With all of this I have a number of basic questions before I jump into the project. Here are the questions:
What is the correct angle of the engine/trans?
Which motor mounts to use?
Which PCM to use and where to mount?
Which DBW throttle pedal assembly will work and will fit the best?
Any issues getting the T56 to fit (any tunnel cutting req'd)?
Can I get the shifter to come through the stock automatic console?
Which MAF sensor to use and where to mount?
Best way to mount the clutch master and connect to stock pedal (manual brakes)?
Which acc/pulley setup to use (stock Vette, etc.)?
Radiator configuration (size and location of outlets)?
Headers to use?
What controls to use with Ididit column to get the cruise to work?
Any issues with the Dakota gauges and LS2/T56 setup?
Which flywheel and clutch setup to use?
I look forward to all your input on this project.

You will have to cut the tunnel for the trans, but not much.
I made a custom mount for the clutch master that sits right beside the brake booster and hooked it into a stock clutch pedal assembly.
Stock F-body acessories worked fine for me
I used a universal aluminum radiatior from summit with stock chevy locations.
Built custom 1 7/8" headers
just pick a clutch that you think you'll be comfortable with. I'm using a Ram supergrip HD with a billet steel flywheel.
