Nice thread! I just read through it all.

Love the "factory" look with the engine covers. I have the same covers on my LQ9. I can't wait to get this swap done in my 95 z71 RC!

I plan to do a cam and maybe some light head work mainly for the sound. I want to run the stock converter till my transmission goes.

How does the Josh Powers A/C bracket compare to a dirty dingo one or some of the others out there? I really would like to use the LS A/C compressor but it looks like quite a bit of work.
