No real progress updates but a few parts have been bought or set aside for the build. And a few other plans for parts of the car have been decided.
I sold the motor from that 98 z28, but kept the T56. I'll be using the motor out of a 2002 Firebird Formula now.

Parts bought/put aside:
Ported/polished TB
LS6 5-wire Maf
LS6 intake manifold
243 cylinder heads
MSD red spark plug wires
Hurst factory shifter
New Hurst shifter knob
T56 transmission('98 camaro z28)
LS1 shortblock('02 formula)
2002 "411" PCM
3rd gen LS1 engine swap mounts
Energy suspension poly trans mount
ls1 fuel lines
ls1 fuel tank

I also decided the brakes will get upgraded as well.
I will be doing LS1 brakes up front, and still trying to figure out my options for the rear, but will probably be just LT1 rears due to the factory 9 bolt in the car now.

Things I need to buy still:
engine rebuild kit
trans rebuild kit
camshaft package
rocker arm trunion upgrade
stand alone wiring harness
injectors
electric waterpump
swap headers
catback
clutch assembly
suspension parts
AI cylinder head porting service
