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.

Here's a few more pics over the weekend. My gauges arent 100% correct yet but I have the Torque app on my phone that reads my PCM so I used it for accuracy. Just wanted to show how they look lit up. And also the HIDs at night.

This is all it is... A 454ss style will run you bout $50. But make your own out of a plain one.
