Sneek peek at my LS1 (now LS6) for the '63 Grand Sport I temporarily assembled some of it to get an idea of what it'll look like. I'm still wiping the drool from my chin... 
Some features are:
LS6 block, Patriot Stage 2 LS6 heads, custom grind Comp cam 228/236-.588/.602/110+2 lsa, LS6 intake manifold, LS6 PCV conversion, MTI Billet T-body, Meziere electric water pump, Speed Inc. billet fuel rails and custom Katech cast aluminum 'Grand Sport' valve covers... also powdercoated timing chain cover, PS pump and alternator brackets. The A/C compressor will be mounted on a special bracket to relocate it to the upper passenger side to clear the frame. Still deciding on the headers - looks like I may have to have some custom made.
Special thanks to Steve for raising the bar on engine appearance and to Speed Inc. for help on the engine.

Hi Mark!
I was the one sitting to the right of you at the Scott Settlemire meeting in Chicago. This car is going to be so bad *** it isn't even funny.
Good luck with the project!!
