Sweet, don't touch the body, it's perfect as-is.

I vote LS7 dry sump.

Cool project!

Did you mean to have the rear coilovers pointed totally straight up and down, as opposed to angling the tops in towards the center of the body? Seems like that might have some adverse handling effects.

Thanks for all the comments. I have a 5.3 for it eventually but being the truck has to be done and get ready for paint in a couple weeks im just going to build a 327 for now with a 4 speed. Within the next year or so it will get the 5.3 and most likely turboed with a t56.

Oh and on the coilovers i wanted to angle them in but my teacher wouldn't let me and the room really wasn't there to do it easily.

Well we started assembling the motor today. i was torquing the rod bolts and had about three done. Then went to torque the next one and snap. Arp bolts are on the way

you should tell your teacher to learn a thing or two about suspension.
