haha, yeah my wife thought it was funny...at first
With the spare bedroom still having parts in it and there is an engine stand, radiator, brake spindles, and my hood in the side yard...she is no longer impressed. Luckily I don't give a ****

I can get you guys the hookup on them as sister works for trickflow dealer. I can not say how much I picked them up for (dealer price)but if anyone wants a set PM me as she ordered them Friday and I had them Monday directly from TrickFlow. I can garuntee the shop will beat out summit or jegs.............. and take care of you guys if you tell them I sent you.

Got the motor in tonight, I sent the pcm and injectors off today for a base tune and a service/flow match. For those who have not dealt with fuel injector connection they are a great shop, very nice on the phone and they are a sponsor here so they hook us up with a deal if we mention ls1tech, the price break is substantial when you consider what they do

Now I need to change the gears in the rear end due to the t56 swap but I am not sure if I should be trying to break in a motor and break in gears at the same time. I am thinking about just running on the 3.23s until i am confident that the rings are seated then changing the gears, breaking those in and then going to the dyno. Does that sound like a plan...how would you do it if you were me?? How is the clutch going to like gears that tall??

breaking in a new clutch is kinda annoying with 3.23's lol. A bigger gear is gunna be a lot easier on everything. I dident read everything, but 3.73's are what I'm gunna switch to. Do you have the m28 or m29 t56?

well you really gotta know what you have, your gears will be a lot different. For example, 3.73's will feel like 4.10's on an m29. All you have to know is what year your t56 was out of. The m29 was only in the 1993 fbodys. I have a 1993 with the m29 and i'm gunna do 3.73's, with my m29 will feel the same as 4.10's with an m28.

alot...roughly 6k in the motor, 1500 on the trans, another couple hundred on swap components pedals, shifter, connectors, etc. I still need a rear end and suspension so the price tag will continue to climb but that is where it stands right now...roughly
