Only thing you'd be using is the longblock with intake. $800-1000 for a used LT1 longblock is excessive. Find a different donor

Id find a 94+ LT1/T56 combo from the start. Since you're in cali and need all the emissions stuff, a wrecked 4th gen donor is the best choice

When compared to the 94-97 LT1 harnesses, the 93's arent worth the copper they're ran with
