Well I got the LS7 motor from the wrecked car. So I have a few more questions please. there are a lot of plastic black hoses on the motor, My buddy thinks they are part of & e vac system, whatever that is. What do I need to do with the black hoses? Tons of wiring but I will send the ecm and harness off to get rid of all the stuff thats not needed. Also I wont need the power steering pump, or a/c stuff. Does anyone offer a belt set up for just the alt', plus the engine pulleys? Any help would be great. Man I am lost with all the hoses and wires. Thanks.
Thanks guys. 
I'm working on the interior now, I fabricated the brackets for the Recaro seats last night.
In the 2nd attached pic with the dash/gauges, you can see that the door panels haven't been covered yet. I have material on order to cover the door panels and to wrap the white insert so they match the Recaro's. The back seat will be getting the same treatment. Also in that pic are the Corbeau seats that I had planned on running, but decided to switch to Recaro's instead.

I've seen that done, it looks really good, but that's not the look I'm going for.
And as long as I'm posting, why not share a few more pics.
The chin spoiler isn't bolted on yet (you can see it hanging down on the right side), I just used a pair of spring clamps to hold it on for pics. I won't bolt it on until I'm finished wiring, plumbing, and assembling the car.
the best job of infusing modern materials and equipment with a classic car, by far. the CF, ls7, guages, and wheels almost looks as if they could have come on the car from the factory. amazing ride man.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
The billet adapter plates are from Autokraft. They're damn nice pieces. The motor mounts are Energy Suspension.

Thanks again, guys.
The adapter plates are from Autokraft, the tank is a Peterson, and the CF chin spoiler is from ATS. I had Autokraft dial in the chin spoiler by adding a bunch of clear and wet sand it to get it that smooth and polished looking.
