Nice work! LSx engines are great and I am sure this made a BIG improvement on the drivability of your car. What did you use for exhaust? I would think this is the hardest part.

As a point of reference on the reliability of the LSx series, my 1999 Corvette is a summer daily driver which sees redline quite frequently. Its LS1 has 95k miles on it and has never been apart. In fact, the only repairs this engine has needed is a new water pump and accessory drive pulleys & tensioner.

Is your car an Arntz Type IV? I noticed it has a notch for distributor clearance on the rear edge of the hood.
