Keep it simple or succumb to the snowball...

I have used, thus far, 3 cans of the Seymour: 2 on the longblock and most of one on the adapters and valve covers. I foresee at least one more for the intake and water pump, so if I’m lucky four total.
Yep, the path of least resistance is to use my stuff and just swap in the LS1, I already have the flywheel adapter and flywheel that's required for the LS1/700r4 combo. We'd like to swap the cam for something that sounds wild, maybe a BTR or a Thumper from Comp Cams, and a stall converter to help it get into the power. I am mildly worried about burning up the 700r4 with more power but we can deal with that if/when it happens. Thanks for the quantities on the paint, did you buy online? Amazon?
