Naught,
thank you for the replies, and it does help

. I mainly wanted to verify that I was not the only one that had to modify the frame for this type of install. I believe "glock" had to as well back when he did his, he used custom mounts-reason for verification. I ordered a "std" brake prop valve (disk/drum) and wanted to see if it was similar to yours. I am still not sure what to do about radiator.... here in the desert the heat is a huge concern. I believe these new motors require more cooling than a regular SBC

. I am looking at a few from Summit that are "designed" for LS conversions, so again just wanted to check with a few knowledgable members here.

thanks again & best of luck with the build finish!!
