Can't remember exactly - it's been about four years.

ah, didnt even see the link... thanks.
for spacers, i just used washers - i think it was 3/8in i had to space it up, and yeah id LOVE a set!!!!
my goal is to have the car atleast running by the end of august, i basically have to finish the wiring, do the fuel system, build the rear, make some sort of intake, get a driveshaft, put my interior back together, and get an exhaust made.

some more progress:
wiring is almost finished up, just need to neaten it up and cover it up. dash is all wired, took alot of unnecessary wiring out of the car. also got a ton of parts just waiting to go on(the closet in my apartment is literally overflowing) headers should be back from getting coated this week. and im hoping ill be atleast be able to start it up by the end of the month.
heres some pics:
dash all lit up, all gauges working (even the exterior lights work lol)
shiftlight hidden in the a/c vent
cannibalized LT1 harness to get some of the proper color wires
everything all separated, ready to be hooked up

Wow, with Kooks on-board to do a swap header, that makes things a LOT easier.
I know I'm planning on doing this swap before summer 08 and this thread will be a lot of help. Major, MAJOR props to you, lt4malibu.
