holy shit with some nice info. so on the fuel line since the oem is too small or at least borders on too small what is the proper size, an this just means I get a bunch of a/n fittings. The lt1 accesories are what we'll use since this is my dads car (we are building it together) and he's not one to like cutting out factory metal. heck when I had to cut away part of my bumper to make way for an intercooler he almost freaked. so we (or he) would rather spend a little extra for the accesory that doesn't cause vehicle amputation. ok for the motor mounts the G body ( elcamino right?) and the fbody being the camaro/vette? just gotta make sure I'm on track. what kind of translator for the vss?? lost on this one never had to worry with the hondas ( so far).

I did consider carb since the crate engines are cheaper but this is a daily driver and makes trips out of state ( different altitude) and the efi is just easier. I'm not familiar with optispark but gather its the ignition coil system? I am not worried about wiring, as long as I have both wiring schematics I can make it work( for the money I paid for my electronics degree I'd better be able to).

the welding shouldn't be a problem, I am going to look at the cross member for the dual exhaust, but I have a mig if needed. I kinda had a feeling the oem built for 108hp would not like the 300hp that'll be thrown at it, I don't plan on stickies but I would like to get a rear end that'll hold up with room to turbo later. again thanks for the info, and patience as I feel around for the domestic stuff.

keep the good info coming.
