Default My LS1 Project

I just obtained an LS1 and tranny from a 98 Z28 to install in my 88 YJ. I am new to this so have a lot to learn. This will be a daily driver, mostly road use, little offroading.

What else should I be look at or thinking about to start this?

I don't want to hotrod it too much so am thinking of doing the following upgrades in the near future.
• CAM - LS6 cam.
• Intake - LS6 or aftermarket manifold with NOS fittings.
• Headers - limited due to space and steering shaft. Would like long tube but not sure if this is possible.
• Fuel pump - it is my understanding that I need a positive pressure fuel pump which can be installed in the cell. IS it possible to install one inline on the fuel line outside of the cell?
• Engine mounts - looking at the Novak kit. I would be fine with something like the Advanced Adapter bolt on saddle mount as I don't weld but I don't see a model for the LS1.

I think you would want to get some type of cold air kit, a pulley and a TC if you have any A4.
