8O Very very nice wheels oh and may i suggest that you use soft or stock rubber mounts on your front core support to help with frame flex between the cab and core support.I have solid (aluminum) cab mounts and there is flex up front.

yeah he was going to do toyota front suspension IIRC. im buying the truck itself, and i think its got some spare fenders n stuff with it. cant wait to see the body in person. im gonna be so glad to have a cab with minimal rust. that away i can leave it all as is, and spend money on getting the truck rolling on the new suspension. that would be cool if we were closer so i could checkout your swap up close. do you know of any other LSx LUVS???

No, all of our adapters are stamped / formed and put the engine as close as posible to the original torque plane. As of this time we have no LS1 specific adapters. http://www.photobucket.com/v8luv
I can;t see which cushions you used, however I would recommend using 2267 DOT safety cushions instead of the 2142's.
