Also what accessories are you using on your motor (car or truck)? Are you using the truck oil pan? I hope the engine combo will make some good numbers and still give me around 18mpg.

Just use the adapter plates available anywhere for the mounts. The ECE setup puts the motor too far forward IMO. Just move your stock crossmember back and drill new holes. Use the truck pan. The iron block LS1 sounds cool. You should just be able to bore/hone/reassemble and have a 5.7. With that heads/cam combo, you should see around 400hp.

It is being taken to a performance shop today to get some of the bugs worked out of it.

Very nice!
