I like the use of the old fender for the piece. Nice to have matching lines.

Some pics of the hood in place. Also added a pic of the louvers. Got them online: Rodlouvers.com $22 for the pair.

Re: His name is "George" 84' C10
Wiz kid came by and noticed right off the bat that something was off. I failed to mention the LS9 cam. There are no provisions on the rear of this cam for a standard 5.3 sensor to read. Spoke with Holley and they said I can configure the ECU to disable the sensor and modify the ignition to "Waste fire". They said it will run, just not as efficient? To me, that means not the correct way. Now I'm on the fence on pulling this thing to add timing cover with correct sensor position or changing cam or once/ if I get it running see what happens. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

That sucks, I'd do it now, considering which one would be a bigger headache.

Well, I've come to the realization that I will not be able to get this thing running on my own in my garage start to finish 100%. While it's a little disheartening, I'm not stubborn enough to not realize that its Ok to ask for help when needed. I found a shop that does swaps and knows the in's/ out's of the computer system. Have an LS2 front timing kit on order that comes with everything needed to do the front sensor conversion. They are confident that they can get this in and get it running. They also have a dyno and can get it tuned. Judging by the rest of the vehicles in their shop and reviews, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Weekend was nice, so I decided to get him off the blocks and out into the sun for a good washing.

Finally loaded and at a shop!! I am exited and nervous at the same time. It was tough to find a shop that would take it. First shop that originally was willing fell through and after sending emails and pics to several places, I found a shop that specializes in LS based engines. Fingers crossed they are able to get this thing flying down the road. Did go back to the 20's for wheels. The 17's looked good when aired out, but at ride height they looked like roller skate wheels. I'm sure I'm going to go back and forth on them.

Re: His name is "George" 84' C10
My vote for second set. Good luck with the shop!
