I used a steel cart that I welded up with some rectangular tubestock and some casters.
SUPER easy.

I spoke to sdce, they mentioned not being able to use an 12 rib with their set up. Really curious to see how this build comes out. Great to see guys building heavy hitting lt set ups!
You can do a 12 rib, but they recommend an 8rib sense it will hold and the belts are a lot easier to come by (cheaper). Its a spring loaded tensioner so constant pressure is the belt the entire time. I know of a nearly maxed out F1A using a 8rib sdce setup on an LSX setup.
We actually used a hoist to raise the body off the K-member. It would have been easier if we used dollies for the wheels to slide it out easily. We had to literally steer the front end assembly out from under the car LOL.

New parts ordered! Hopefully getting the rotating assembly balanced next week and start building the following!!
Thanks! Yes the standard 12 rib setup for now. I will see how it goes.
Trickflows new 21 deg heads and stock LT1 intake ported by LE. The heads have also been worked by him with new springs, larger valves, etc.
Yea that's what I meant lol.
He does that but we like him.

Blackbird, do yourself a favor and get a pulley alignment tool or borrow one from someone how owns a high dollar piece...I promise you, you'll snap your 1st belt in no time if you don't.

I checked the SDCE website but didn't see a LT1 setup listed but just the LS. No pricing either.
