maybe I'm blind, but that don't look like an LT1 engine. The water pump holes and intake are Gen 1. Unless he opened the water jackets from the heads to the intake, thats either a gen 1 block or it won't work. Please explain?

Correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Well Friday morning (3am), we butsed her off. It took about 4 starts to get everything right but he got r done! First few starts it was only running on 4 cyclinders, injectors werent firing, had some wiring mixed up. Fixed that and this first clip is its first run on all 8. The water pump wasnt working, 2nd clip water pump fixed everything good, he goes through the gears in the garage.
