Just got my LS7 crate!

I'm just waiting for SEMA to see how that 3-link will really look in a car. Hopefully not too much hacking is required, as I'd like to have a back seat. The DSE 4-link definitely isn't too bad to fall back on, seeing as a year ago all we had was drag race 4-links, truck arms or leaf springs.
WD and 21st CSM were the only two I knew of for C5 front clips, and I'm very interested how your LS2 will fit up to the 21st sub.
I'm registered over at pro-touring.com, but I'm basically a lurker. I don't have much personal experience with suspension sort of stuff, so I don't have much to add. I've definitely picked up a ton of good info there, though. Congrats on the moderatorhood over there; now you can mess with Nineball in two admin forums.

The 21st Century stuff is top notch.. better than Wayne Due's. A guy on www.lateral-g.net already has one installed in his 69/LS1 car gave it a thumbs up (name is Payton). They also offer an IRS vette set-up but it is big bucks, but very trick.
Yea, building the LS7 was fun but I think you got the better deal

My girlfriends father just got his LS7 on Wednesday Just came back from my girlfriends fathers place to check out his new LS7 engine. He is going to put it in a 58 fuel injected vette (might be a 57 dunno). I didn't take any pictures of it but I can get some to post. The frame was just sent out for a complete C5 upgrade. He also has a T56 to put in the vette. Should be a nice ride. I found this forum after doing some research on the engine. He wasn't sure if it's 500 hp at the crank or at the rear wheels. He also said that Yanko brought like 20 of these engines to retrofit 20 pre 70s vettes and cameros.

Holy thread back from the dead. 
I couldn't believe it when I saw the title on the front page.
It's a bit late to put it in the truck now. The car is done, and I put about 2000 miles on it in the last week. It's gonna be at the Car Craft Nationals in St Paul, MN this weekend if anyone is going.
Here's a couple pics of the finished product:
