FIRST TEST START!!!
Everything sounded good, I need, new plugs and wires. The problem is I need one of those special custom make your own plug wire kit that will work with LS engines. So I can mount the coils down in the frame rails hidden away and run the wires back up to the plugs. Anyways here's some pics of it after I had just started putting the intake back on. I also got many harness modifications done and cleaned up a lot more wiring.

Sounds like you were starting to get the squeek I did with my LQ4, I just kept running it and it went away. It was rocker arms not getting enough oil so that rockers were squeeling on the valve stem. After a few minutes of idling it started to go away. Put about 1500 miles on it since with no problems.

I actually did hear the squeaking, thought it was a belt noise...
