Looks great.

I'm not sure about the LT1 block, but I had a SBC that had to be clearanced for the 383 rod angle... did they not have to clearance your block?

Yea, i'm going with 6" H-beam rods and he said that almost all of them have to be cleared, but he said once i get the assembly to bring it back to him and he will then do whatever has to be done to make it fit for nothing extra!!
