Thanks.
T&D 2353 is the correct shaft mounts for the MAST LS7 265 medium bore heads. Check them out at page 11 on this thread.
Contact Kip@CamMotion for the best pricing for them.

Thanks. Exactly what I ordered, Jessel wanted $1800 for those heads. And btw those look like some beefy rockers.

It seems like every shaft rocker kit out there is about 1800-2000$ I think I'll be going with Jesel on this next go 'round

Thanks for looking guys and I know I can't wait myself to get this thing started and hear it come alive. Unfortunately, as you know by now, it's been hard for me to find time to work on this build due to other life's priorities, family,kids,work, etc and all that good stuff.
I finally got the chance to lay out and install the wiring harness on the engine and locate a placement for the pcm today, as well as finished plumbing the vacuum pump and pump regulator. The only thing left is to install the Lokar throttle body cable. So with that said, this beast will have its first start up shortly. Again, thanks for looking. I will post some pics in the morning before I go to work.

Sorry for the shitty pics.

A little set back. I came to realize as I was under the car running the main positive cable from the relocated battery location/cut off switch, it just occur to me that I have maybe 3-5 gallons of 3 year old Sunuco 112 race fuel in the tank. And I know I'm not going to run this old fuel into this brand new engine. So with that said, I will have to drop the tank and drain it. I will also remove the fuel pump and make sure everything is clean and in good working order. At this point, I may just upgrade the fuel lines with -AN braided hoses and fittings. But this engine will definitely start up soon, as promised.

Dropping the tank and upgrading the pump are just the correct things to do, no need to apologize. This beast will fire and be right because you've been patient and sweated every detail.

Thanks guys.
Will a Walbro 450 even work with the LT1 sending unit? I didn't even think of that. Some say, the 255's are more than adequate for a naturally aspirated 550-650 rwhp set ups, and to just make sure to upgrade to a "hot wire" kit. Anyone running a single 255 lph fuel pump to its maximum capability?

Dropped the tank last night. If time permits this weekend, I'm going to drain the old fuel, remove the sending unit, and check out everything. I will most likely upgrade to -AN braided stainless steel, feed and return hoses all the way to the front, as well as a new fuel pump.

Removed the pump and I'm surprised to see that there is no bucket. I figured all this time the WALBRO 255 pump was picking up directly from the tank.

I'd just put a 450 in it.. if you ever decide to run E85 you'll need a good pump. I don't even think the 255 will be enough on gas

That's what I'm thinking. Or at the least an Aeromotive 340. It should more than adequate for this NA combo build.
