We're starting this project as well.

The motor is ordered and should be here next week. Stock motor is out, and we're ready to go.
EPS should not be too bad. I'm a EE, so if you need help on that side let me know. I'm not planning on keeping the dash as mine is a racecar though.
I take it you are using the T56 Camaro transmission. What are you doing for the differential. The Puddy diff would be nice, but I;m thinking the Ford 8.8 would be best.

well the LS1 with clutch and fly wheel and fully dressed all accessories weighed in at 492.?? so minus the A/C compressor and power steering pump and some other odds and ends not needed i would say it has lost about 40 lbs so now we are around 452 lbs give or take not to bad 100 lbs diffence like i thought. BTW thanks for the info on the S2000 weight
