also, the fuel filter looks way worse in those pics than actually seeing it IMO. plenty of room plus pal has some trick mounting brackets to keep that feed line secure. if anything, i'd be scurred of them steamrollers out back!

I would have to agree with that. Look about 3/8" thick, shouldnt have to worry about those warping any time soon

nah, just the home depot bolts backing out everyday 
they are nice headers, just looks like the passenger collector sits too close to the subframe. might actually hit it a little. everything else about them is niceeeee, slip right in too!

Yeah, the hardware Hawk provides isnt super cool looking, Im gunna pick up a set of locking header bolts.
Need some help with the radiator. James or Cornholio, what do you guys have planned for the coolant line idea? I was gunna just do like everyone else and tap a line line into the top of the water pump.

Al, on the 68 Camaro I had with the 94 LT1 in it I used a 93 Z28 upper radiator hose because it has the coolant line built into it. I don't know if you could make it work with some sort of extension added to it but it might be worth looking into.

I wonder if I put the battery to the driver side like a firebird would that make things easier then stringing wires left and right.

I left it in the stock location, went top term.
Im ran the two fused red wires that came out of the driver bulkhead, and Im gunna run that to the pos battery terminal. I have a two cables attached to the starter, one going to the battery, and one from the starter to the alt.
I pulled part that bulkhead connector, adn there is a heavy 10ga pink wire that went to the old ign coil. I was gunna use that wire as the power wire for the fan relays.
What does your intake look like?
