It's here It's here! Shortblock was delivered Friday. The madness begins on Tuesday.
Now all I'm waiting on is my new headers and catback since I already sold my old lg pros..

Still waiting for the exhaust. Here's the damage so far.
The carnage started for the mini-tubs and test fitting the tires.
275/35/18 on the left, 345/35/18 on the right.

Bill I forsee the headers possibly being a restriction. Good looking build though.
Update:
The heads should be arriving this week. Thanks to the guys at LME.
I ordered the wheels Friday (I-forged Challenge) Big thanks to Nineball for answering my many emails!
LG finally came out with a 1 7/8" header (Super Pros) so I took everyone's advice and ordered them today. Now it can breathe!

The longblock was finished yesterday and we're waiting on a sheetmetal intake that's being fab'd to fit under the stock hood.
I finally decided on and ordered a set of valvecovers and coil relocation kit from Katech and should have them in a couple of weeks.
I called LG and got word that the headers will be shipped in a week and my catback should be there like right meow...
ARH next time around. I did order a set of ARH's for the truck while I was on the phone with them...persuasive s.o.b.
J/K buddy!

No, 4l60. Will be upgrading to a stage bazillion 4l65 and a new convertor before the blower goes on. I'm seeing them live in 3800+lb cars so I think a well built one will handle my car.

Got the stuff from Katech, thanks. The lady I spoke with on the phone was very nice!
No headers.
The longblock and rest of the drivetrain is back in the car. The measurements were done and the intake is being worked on right meow.
The wheels were delivered yesterday. Thanks Tony!

We now offer a larger 400in cam for this reason, it is a 236/246 60x/60x 114, this is a nice cam that will bring power out to the range of 6400-6600 depending on heads/intake combo."
^that is what I was most interested in vs. your smaller 232/240 cam.
When you say a stronger valvespring, I assume you mean a step above the average .650/.660 capable dual springs?

But I have a similar setup, 408, F1-C, Vic Jr, St III 317s, pump gas + meth, built 4L60 with a Yank PE 3400 stall, should end up making 800rw & run 9.5 @ 140 shifting at 6500....I hope anyway. Oh, and I have a 3750lb full interior TA.
