I HIGHLY recommend replacing the inner fenders.

What head, cam and intake you plan on doing on the ls1 ?
My 2000 Z28 6 speed car puts down right at 500 rwhp on a very stingy 48 inch drum dyno. Thats on a factory 799 head caating on top of a LS2 bottom end with a cam motion camshaft. My goals is 10s all motor.

Personally, I'd save cosmetic bodywork and paintwork for last. Just do the underside surgery first and put it all together and get everything gapped and fitting well. Then do the engine and drivetrain. The reason being that it's hard not to screw up the body and paint while doing all the drivetrain stuff.

Then I'd also go straight for the LS1 and T56. Imho, that's too much work, doing the drivetrain twice.

Did you mean C4 front suspension?

Yep, that's my vote. Except, it's not all that hard to bolt in a small block and Th350 first while the LS1 and T56 combo is being built. It's a lot of work to get that combo in with all conversion BS and adding wiring and such.
