Wait, that doesn't look like a LT1...JK, I knew you had it swapped.
Did you do a T56 conversion?
It appears that you removed the heater core (big ugly box in the engine bay), so why do you have heater hoses going to the firewall?

I've done the conversion a couple of times, surprisingly simple. You did a clean job.
