im really glad you brought this up, i was looking at the grounds, theres the strap from firewall to engine, then theres one on left side of the engine harness and one on right..does the right side harness one and ground strap use the same bolt/place to ground??

You should be able to just bolt it to the block that's what I did with all the factory grounds on my truck when I did the motor swap

I believe they all go to one spot as well. I have not had time to look.

Did you use a PR length checker or just wing it? Once I changed my lifters over to LS7's and heads shaved a bit figured better safe then sorry!

yes, i used the pr length checker. came up with 7.325. thats with .050'' preload. i was told .075'' preload is best. so i went with a 7.35 pushrod. hopefully they workout good and i dont get any lifter noise.
