Some updates, more to come Ok, Headers are installed, master cylinder is in... brake lines are started. Fuel Lines are pretty much ran, just have to tweak em a little. Gonna try and cut the hole for the wiring tomorrow and wrap up the brake/fuel lines. I also got the top hose for the 3rd gen radiator to LS1 engine, gonna get the bottom tomorrow. picked up some spark plugs. maybe install the coil packs/starter/spark plugs.
Here are some recent pix.

it appears your fuel/brake line fittings are sitting over the header? its a known tight spot, but maybe that pic looks worse than it is.
i know mine were tight everywhere under the car, but they sure do slide in and out easy when you need them to.
looking good!

i looked and i dont.
i moved my brake line up where my fuel line used to be and i ran my fuel line up on the transmission hump a lil bit. i use braided line, and also wrapped the hell out of it. had an old starter heat shield i tubed up and then put heat tape all around it for about 2 ft. its prolly 5 pd worth of junk my car dont need, but i feel safe.

its just a lil tight on all the fuel and brake lines around the drivers side frame.
if you have a th350 or a th400, plan on cutting up the bellhousing for the headers to clear. they were built off a 6 spd car and hug a lil tight in that area. ive mesured to put a powerglide in my car, and it looks like a no go, the header collector is right in the way of the shifter linkage. the PG is just a tad wider than a th350/400 setup at the pan, making it a bugger.

Me and my buddy ended up pulling the header on the driver's side and he tweaked the fuel lines so there is more clearance.
