There might be a slight sidetrack. Right now I'm looking at a non forged shortblock with the clutch coming out soon. That leaves 2 motor mounts and the AC pump holding it in place. I'm looking for more info in our FI section and LS1tech as to what it might cost to yank it out and go forged.
-Yes- I know- I've been looking at EG's madness too long.

until you're done putting it back together or the Sebring will kick Big Yella's azz too!

Don't you have homework to do? I was working on it until your Onkel Pete showed up unexpectedly. Then it was on to drinking as much of my beir as possible. (Sue and your mother helped too. Me?
)
Now stop bothering me so I can try to get the rear cradle off. Damn kids. Pics later

OK, time to see what was done today. (Stephen, I'm sorry that I didn't take the time to learn how to embed the pictures yet. I promise that I will someday.)
Looks like some heavy exhaust that will become garage wall art.
There's also the tunnel plate that I made 2 years ago.

Here's the rear cradle getting ready to come out. You can't have too many jackstands.

I love those cutouts. Thanks for talking me into them a few years ago Patches.

Some of the pile of parts. Those 241 heads will be more wall art. I hope it goes back together as easy as it came apart.

I know, a dirty wheelwell.
I live on a damn dirt road and actually drive the car folks. Old parts are wall art, the car isn't. 
Here's the A arm wondering just what the hell is going on.

A fine balancing act. It's amazing just how many clips there are holding the electrics and brake lines to the cradle and tranny.

The point of no return? I think that was a few beers (I mean days) ago.

You don't need a clutch if you don't have a tranny. The stocker will be more wall art although the Textralia is a millenium yellow true work of art. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...iveline010.jpg

That's it for today. The shortblock is just sitting on it's mounts and that scissor jack. every nut, bolt, and clip is off including the starter and A/C. Hopefully there's pics of it out and getting forged blower pistons real soon.
