What he said ^^

I'm guessing you're going with LS6 springs?

Not sure what the springs are but they came with the heads that have had a good deal of work done to them. They are pretty stout though. Not going for big power on this one right now. Just trying to get the swap working for now. This one will be a daily driver. I have 90 vette that's in line for a Ls swap when this one is done. I can always go for more power down the road if I need it though.

Damn that's pretty

I love Sikky parts!

How do you know those plugs will fit? Are they made to clear the headers or someone recommend them?

If you wanna see mine, I'm just outside of DC on the virginia side. By GMU

I would love to see your build one day soon.. I'm in Roanoke, Va! :D:D

I see Sikky shortened those header collectors. Yours should be a bit easier to fit and fab an exhaust for.

They are now making them in-house which is apparently why they are getting it done right now. Before they were drop-shipped from GA

Not sure if the will but they were literally only used to crank a motor once and I got them for free.....so I took a chance on them!! Lol. I got a set of these heat shield products wire boots to protect them

I was worried about the clearance after seeing what you went through so I checked with them when I ordered.....they said I should be good with the new changes

Looks great. I will need to cut custom wires because the runners are at a weird angle, no matter what set I get, I'll melt two or three wires because the rest on the header.. Sounds like a silly problem but still a problem lol

Well supposedly that's what these are good for. They are much longer than the stock protective shield and they can be bent to form. I will put some pics up tomorrow to show you the length

Ok thanks. Good luck!

Very unique color. The motor will look great in there :).

Caaan you do me a favor? Can you take a few pix of the whole kit with all the parts? I want to verify that/if it comes with everything I think it comes with. Like clutch line and quick bleed kit.

Just got it in and I believe it has the clutch line and bleeder line you are referring to

Got the brake booster eliminator kit in yesterday
Also got the power steering reservoir
