Thank you....

Kind of in a bind and don't have time to order a LS Valley cover lift plate, anyone think this universal one will hold with only 4 Valley cover bolts? It's just the short block, thanks in advance

Any opinions on what rockers, lifters and pushrods to use on the daily driven 800hp build?

I know now the majority runs LS7 lifters but there is another reliable more quiet option out there? Seems like most aftermarket ones I read about are short lived with failures.

As for rockers, initially I was going with oem rockers and the Straub or Smith Bros trunion. Any expierence with aftermarket roller rockers, even maybe Summit brand?

And then pushrods, there seems to be a ton of options out there.

Heads are 799 cnc, stock sized valve with 660 springs . I don't have the cam specs on me as of now.

Anyone with a 4" downpipe? I'm building mine and holy **** there is no clearance between the firewall/frame/crossover piping. The only way I can see to gain any more clearance is to build a new crossover pipe. Trick turbo, any recommendations?

They fit, but tight.

Check your motor mounts and the side to side alignment of the motor.

Also, I highly recommend solid motor mounts

Solid mounts on a daily driver? How do they feel? I'm making everything up with the old block and old mounts. At the minimum I planned on buying new stock engine mounts.n I AM worried about the engine shifting and the downpipe sitting on the inner frame

The solids aren't really noticeable at all, especially if you're already cammed.

I would consider solid motor mounts almost a must on a serious turbo build

Thanks for the advice, I'll be looking some up. I really have no room for movement with this downpipe.
