Yeah, that's awesome. Your shop is probably 20 times the size of my garage. Which oddly enough is the same size as my apartment.

Do you have the part numbers available?

I'd love to make a setup like this...

Sweet!

Have you thought about an aftermarket front subframe?
I should get you some more room.

I am working on a 66 with a Martz front clip. I have a LS1/4L60e that I bought to put in it. But I am thinking about selling the 5.7/4L60e and buying a 6.0/4L80e I found local. I want to do a truck manifold single setup.

I bookmarked your picture link for inspirational purposes.

Were you able to keep your A/C in your truck? These are both SIIIICK builds, and those headers are exactly what want to build for my LSX TT Grand National... just need to get rid of a few toys to free up some funding lol. The one thing I wont give up is my A/C though...
