So new Items for the build are
23' GEN V LT1 and 10L90E trans out of Camaro
CVF accessories w/ PS pump
Dirty Dingo Glider LT1 mounts
Willwood front and rear disk brakes
No limit rack and pinion
New Painless wiring harness
Rear Fuel cell with pump
Aluminum radiator with fans

I have the brakes started and the engine/trans sitting in the frame. I'm having a little issue with the motor mounts so I'm searching for a solution there.. My truck has the clam shell mounts and perches w/ high hump tunnel but the brackets interfere with the DD gliders so im not able to move the engine forward. I believe i could get some different perches and mounts that would eliminate that problem but i haven't found the solution yet..
Research & correct GM valvetrain related issues now vs after possible damages might occur.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
