Cool thanks man. Build is looking good. If you can get some pictures of how and where you're going to mount the condenser ... well that would be sweet! Thanks man...

Still waiting on the rest of the kit. Got the cam and timing set so I threw most of the engine together.
Here is a pic of the LS3 coolant crossover that I am running in the rear along with the DPE corvettes 2.5 bar map and the map sending unit for my boost gauge.

The most popular theory about toasting the #7 cylinder is lack of cooling in the back of the engine due to the 99+ engines having the block off instead of a crossover. I decided that was a logical theory. So instead of buying one of those expensive crossover kits that links all four corners of the heads together I went with the cheaper option of another crossover.
It may not be necessary, but I don't want to really take chances with all the jack I'm spending on this build.

I know about the crossovers. Just was wondering if their was something about the ls3 style.
I used a 98 crossover on mine. But I still need to route it back in to the cooling system. Right now its caped.

I figured if it was actually a hose that it would give it a little more versatility. Turns out it fits just fine back there without being in the way.

Well...she is still ripped apart awaiting the kit from Josh. Here are a few more pics. All the wiring for the pumps is done and I cleaned up the garage today.
