The machine shop that did the balancing on the rotating assembly took a little off the inside of the hub to make it easier to get on but its still going to be a tight fit. 
LT1 383 Blower Build
You're going to love the pics...when they get on!
Maybe I'll do that this weekend. I think it will take an entire Saturday just to get it all up. I think I'm even going to go back and put up the original build pics. Man, some of that stuff looks so embarassing. TOTALLY different now.

Little bit more done today.
The proper length pushrods came in so got those installed along with the 1.6rr's. The lash was double checked and everything is ready to roll.
7.200" Comp Hi-Tech pushrods
Comp Ultra-Magnum 1.6RR's
My makeshift crank hub install tool also did the trick but it was a pain in the ***. I feared for the rod to snap or the threads to get marred but everything worked out just fine. The crank reluctor isn't moving at all so I assume the hub is fully seated. If it's not, I will need to start taking steroids to get it on any farther.

Some more progress made today after the snow cleanup thanks to my Dad and buddy, Jon.
Intake is just about ready, got the rails/injectors installed as well as the block off plates. I laid the intake on the engine just for the photo op but will wait until the engine goes back in to finish the install. Motor mounts are also ready to roll with the prothane inserts thanks to Jon.
The Lonnies Double Pumper wiring has been run from the tank and will be run to the front of the car tomorrow.
The wire mod hole was drilled today on the passenger side and holes on the drivers for the fuel line relocation kit from Speed Inc. This is really going to clean things up well.
Don't mind the blue tape in the pics. I taped off the ports to make sure nothing found its way in the ports before the final install.
Don't ask what Jon was doing with the intake

Looking great Brian! I had a bit of a setback on mine...damn coolant crossover fitting leaking. If I can't get it sealed up, it's back out the motor will come...for TIG welding the fittings to the heads. No more leaks...

Thanks 
Pic time!
Clutch is on and just a few pics of the blower mocked up. Once I get the front end jibberish back from the machine shop, I will install it for good (so I hope).
As you can see, the block needed to be clearanced quite a bit to get the blower to fit. Don't worry about its proximity to the freeze plug, the pic angle makes it look closer. Still close but not that bad to cause concern.

The snout of my crankshaft is going to hate me for this....
Just got the spacer and blower pulley back from the machine shop. Spacer and blower pulley had three extra mounting holes added along with some material taken off to space the pullies accordingly. When taking the material off, they left a nice protrusion to center everything on the hub. Came out really nice.

Thanks! Def couldn't get this done without help from family and friends. I will say by the time I am done this....and it runs the way it should, I can title myself an expert lol. Not really but I can probably recite just about every bolt dimension on this thing.
