Just stumbled into this thread, this build looks like the kind of frame off ground up resto done on classic muscle cars, and it's got the v8 to boot! Badass.

I do. Ive just been lazy. I just ripped out the motor.
We added
TSP Cam w/ pushrods
799 Heads w/ valve springs and a trunnion upgrade
Ls6 Valley Cover w/ pcv delete.
Ls7 lifters
Upgraded oil pump
Upgraded Timing Chain
Ls6 Intake
40lb injectors
Its getting a dyno tune on the 7th. We are hoping for around 385 rwhp. After reinstalling the motor we noticed home much room we had on the passenger side of the motor. Soooo...now Im collecting parts to add a turbo. I'm thinking a 70 series wheel with a.96 hot side. We are going to run truck manifolds and fabricate the crossover tube and downpipe. 550 rwhp should be fairly easy with about 5-6 psi which shouldn't be a problem for my fuel system.
As far as the outside I added a evo rear spoiler with the DTM large flap and a front splitter.
I'll add pics soon.

Very nice! on a similar path with my e30 m shell, though you are much further along than I. I'm a big believer in the value of the LS powerplant, terrific engine in so many ways. Unfortunately my budget has relegated me to an m60b44 hybrid build, but this is great stuff you're doing! The prices asked for and attitudes of s14 purists are so off-putting, I hope they choke on your tire smoke. Bigger sway/ anti-roll bars and a little suspension tuning will put you right back into the handling sweetspot that the car was born with. kickass!!!

Already decided on the Turbonetics 7868. It's a 78 wheel in a 68 compressor housing. It spools quicker but the max HP is reduced. Going with a .96 hot side. I'm using modified truck manifolds and TIAL waste gate/purge valves. There is no room to run an intercooler without modding the chassis or plastics which from the get go was a no no with this project. That being said I will be using meth injection to bring the IAT's down and to keep the stock short block together. Being that I'm going to be pushing less than 10lbs I think it will be safe. This thing is scary fast already so I have no idea what's going to happen with another 150-200 rwhp. I would guess mid 10's in the 140 mph on the touring car suspension. Lol

I've seen many guys run e85 and meth and have extremely low AIT temps for a turbo, not sure if e85 is an option for your area though.sigpic
