Awesome! We recently undertook a SBC 350-S13 project, and I am looking for any step by step guides.
If you have any links, or parts stores where we can get like motormounts, please post em up! This project is both awesome and inspiring.

Installed my clutch system also used a Ram HD clutch. Hopefully it lasts longer than spec clutches.
Temp fuel system is in. will get my up and running but i want to get a real fuel system soon so i spent as little as possiable to get the stock setup to work, Including means to use my greddy Fuel Pressure Gauge.
Got my driveshaft in 4 days from driveshaft shop. I would recomend these guys to anyone they got it to my house in a jiffy. And it looks REALLY good. Driveshaft measured 44.5"
Transmission mount was finished about a week ago im getting it powered coated i'll have pictures up of it for you to see.
Radiator hoses found, ill have part numbers up for that incase anyone else is using a SR20 Koyo radiator.
Wiring is done for the car. Ill have pictures of this soon. I found someone who has really cool relay and fuse boxes will make it basicly look like an OEM box.
SOOOO close i can feel it. Big last thing is im making the custom long tube headers this weekend hopefully i'll have have it running by this weekend. (open headers of course)

The LS1 went to the machine shop today. Getting some forged slugs, balance job, bearing tolerances checked, align honed for the girdle, etc. I also ordered all the front accessory brackets and bolts and a FluidDamper harmonic balancer. Moving forward, slowly but surely!

I actually had to temporarily ditch the 4 inch intake to a 3 inch intake (the ID of the TB) This is just so it fits better for the time being. Other updates are I have the base coat down on most of the car i need to post pictures of the super hot paint. Headers are ceramic coated now ill be sure to post those pictures tonight. And my wiring is in the proper way so i can just finish buttoning the car up and get it back on the road.

Paint!
Paint is being done at my house. Color is awsome. Clearcoat going on this week. Without the clear the paint looks purple, but with the clear it looks like a baller *** blue.
Oh yeah and the headers got ceramic coated.
