It's done ............ ok let's take it apart and start again.

I like the painted piping, nice touch. Too bad there isnt a way to paint more of the engine bay the color of the body. LS1 engine bays are a pain in the neck when you try to dress them up.

Swapping the motor shouldnt be tough, I kind of miss installing h/c setups, 12 bolts, clutches and the other stuff. When do I get to work again?

Mike, buy the new motor so I have something to do next weekend.
