Dropping the motor and trans into the car tomorrow. Probably will be next weekend before I fire her tho.
In the meantime, I modified the LS1 block for the 04+ LS6 Valley Cover.
Everything taped off with bags underneath (and yet a little bit of dust still got under it... but not down to the cam (thank GOD).

And the new valley cover test fit.

I'll trailer it over. I'll be in Louisiana for Christmas. I might just trailer it then if he's open... and my wife let's me with an SUV full of dogs and kids... LOL
And yes, the dust probably got down in there pulling all the tape off. I vacuumed what I could and was careful. It wasn't much. I just wiped it up with a paper towel. Since there's oil all down in there, that caught it and made it easy to wipe clean.

Powerwise? I don't think 500 is happening. Not with a big stall A4. And I'm very skeptical of 500 in a 346 anyway.
But anything over 450 would be good with the stall. Had I milled down for a little more compression, that might have helped a little bit. But I didn't want to cut the heads down too far. Limits me a little when I rebuild the bottom end down the road.

Btw, my MWC subframe connectors are for sale. I never got around to installing them. If you're interested...
