Well I found out the LT1 manifolds will not work. The front and rear bolts do not line up with the holes on the 327. I could have re-drilled the front hole, but not the rear. Also it looks like the passenger side would have been up against the starter. I guess I'll be checking craig's list for some headers!!

On a happier note...I got my trans crossmember built today. I decided it would be just as easy to build one than to modify the S10 part. I welded angle brackets to the frame, then built the cross member to bolt to the brackets. Much easier to get the tranny out or motor and tranny together if I can drop the crossmember out the bottom. When I pull the motor and trans to finish welding the motor mounts, I'll paint the crossmember.

Here's a few pics...(In the pic with the bracket on the frame, it's just tack welded in this pic, I welded it up after.)
