Good luck, I hope I get to see the final product here!

Thanks! The motor came from a wrecked 2005 GTO with 23K miles on it. There was t a drop of oil or fluid on the motor or transmission so I jumped on it. I like the gear ratio of the later model 6.0-6.2 liter motors more than the LS1 so it too was an added benefit.
I took the saved expenses of buying a new crate motor to put heads, cam, intake and other items to make this a more reliable setup for racing. It all depends on how the car will be used. If this was a weekend or nice weather street car I would have bought a crate motor and be done.
