Engine Time!!
Here are some pics of the engine, before assembly. I went over to his house to check out the action. I am sourcing quite a few parts from the builder. Getting things pieced together before I move to MS in January. There will still be lots to do, but it's definitely a start...

UPDATE
2 weeks and the engine will arrive. I went ahead and ordered most of the other engine parts through the builder. He gets parts at cost with most vendors so it was a viable option. The LS7 will essentially be a crate engine with harness, ECU, fuel, and intake. I may have DigitalSolo modify the harness, or I will try my hand at it. I'm pretty decent with wiring, so I may just do it myself. I'm using a Fbody ECU and EFI Live. This also allows me to do some cool OBD stuff.
At this point I will need to get the accessories. I am likely going with March Performance accessories. I'm still debating on keeping PS or not. My rack is still in tact, but I am considering pulling it apart during the swap to properly "de-power" it. I personally love the looped line so it can only get better.
I am in on the next group buy for Samberg's radiator/intake kit.
I have also put my deposit down on Spoolin's 1 7/8 Premium merge Headers. Very great quality.
I will be ordering the mount kit from Ronnin as I like their powder coating and poly mounts they add to the Samberg kit. Overall, I think it's a great deal for what they do.
I will post pictures of the engine in 2 weeks. Until then, it's pretty much a waiting game.
