1) Yes the motor is pink, f*** yes.
2) I know the bumper doesn't match the paint
So here's my progress. So far as it sits, here is what I have.
2004 LH6 5.3L Aluminum Block
Flat Top Pistons
LS6 Heads (799 Castings)
Trickflow Hardened Pushrods
LS7 Lifters
Ported Oil Pump
Displacement on Demand Delete
LS3 Valley Cover
New MLS Head Gaskets
LS1 Intake
LS1 Fuel Injectors (19lb)
LS1 Fuel Rail
C5 Corvette Exhaust Manifolds
GTO Oil Pan, Pickup and Windage Trays
McLeod SFI Bellhousing
McLeod Street Twin Disc Clutch
Mildly built T56
Pro 5.0 Shifter
Hurst Shift Stick
Motor mounts, crossmember modifications, transmission mount, transmission tunnel modifcations, all made by myself. It wasn't a swap kit because I'm poor, but you can get a full one for like 2k to make an LS1 a bolt on mod.
Whats left to do includes mating the 5.3 truck harness to the 240 (mostly done), send some pipes to the back, buy a Corvette fuel filter to make the LS1 fueling system work, a few odds and ends and it should be ready to fire up!
Enjoy!
