Sweet project. I love my 383 t56. Got so tired of trying to get a auto to last. Are you using a internal balance crank? Are you using the lt1 flywheel and clutch? It's gunna be sweet to see it sitting on those huge tires. New engine, new trans, new gears, four wheel discs, it's gunna be fun learning how to drive it all over again.

The LT1 rear end is slightly wider than the LS1 rear end. 315s with the LT rear shouldn't be too much trouble but the LS rear may require tubular control arms and massaging with a hammer.
