SO! I ordered the 5.3 prc heads and 228r cam with 112lsa from TSP (thanks jon). The intake is indeed an ls6, so no need to upgrade quite yet, although we may port the throttle body. Were tearing down the engine this week and cleaning it up a bit. We plan to run a 150shot in the near future (i hear the stock bottom end can take it), but for now it's stayin N/A. For anyone interested this is going into an 88' fox body notchback, should weigh in around 2200-2300lbs with full interior. I've attached pic's of the rear suspension and brake setup, although it's not quite done. Were fabbing up a custom bracket so the double anti-roll bar can swing up and bolt to the chassis while on the street, and working on some sort of quick release to save some time. The front end is being put together, and i'll throw up some more pics, but probably in another thread. Any advice on what mufflers I should use? Also, I know nothing about tuning this thing. Any advice there?? Thanks again guys

also, the guy who sold me the motor/trans gave me a new Daikin clutch Mastertech pro pack complete kit. Any good?? ..I have a sinking feeling it's not going to cut it. Supposedly its a zo6 clutch but will it take the abuse I'm going to constanly throw at it?
I can get a oem ls7 clutch for cost, but could i even use that in my t-56?
