well im going to order my clutch tomarow but i got the cav in the garage and pulled the v6 apart for cleaning. im going to pull the 2.4 tonight and start on the subframe on prolly friday i hope i want to have it done by june but that is going to be pushing it and as for the wiring im going to piggy back the cav ecm for the gauges. ill get pictures tonight if i can find my camera
my kill list:a geo metro and a mac semi wow did i kill that thing
why not convert to 00+ gauges and run an impala PCM this will save you from using 2 pcms

well im woundering if that will work because i talked to someone who swapped a 3800 into a 3400 impala and the gauges dont work on it

what exhaust manifold is everyone using mine runs right into heater hoses i had to cut it and weld a turn down into it

my digital camera died but i made my subframe like yours so its on the inside of the stubs and the motor fits perfect like that except the oil filter as i was sitting my motor in i poped a hole in the oil filter and got oil all over my floor

I'm using ported stock manifolds... my motor is far enough forward to have lots of room at the back. The downside is I have very little room at the front... the rad is a very tight fit.
just goes to prove everyone does it diffrent. mine fits to the 2.4 down pipe almost now
my kill list:a geo metro and a mac semi wow did i kill that thing
im making a new down pipe the 3800 wont work and the 2.4 one is way to small but i can have a pipe bent just like the 2.4 one

me to john i moved mine about an inch forwardand the down pipe fits perfect. the rear plugs are easy to change fronts are easy but not as easy as the rears.

couple pointers
ditch the cover do you Supercharger a favour that cover retains too much heat you supercharger and engine will apprciate it. your oil cap will screw into the valve cover with out the neck aswell
do the L67 recall on the motor before you get to many things in, replace the front grommets and valve cover gaskets and install the plug wire retainer clips insted of the channel, ( i kept the channel its not an issue but i would fix the gaskets if you see any oil around them
did you get the W body upper mounts for it if not get those in and make sure your coils don't hit the rad support as the coils wont be in the same location that there in in that pic
are you keeping AC if not the condenser will come off that rad too
