5/25/15 - I ended up doing the 12 bolt and everything else - just had some long nights:
Fought the hydroboost yesterday for hours - new rod is in and cured a few other odds and ends with the wastegate. Thought I was going to have to move the oil fill cap but it clears the gate. Just about did me in. There are always so many little issues that are hard to explain that can take hours to fix.
Its going to my friends for the remaining brake lines and 12 bolt install as things have gotten busy for me. When it comes back I will need to do the water tank, water lines, driveshaft, and other odds and ends. I am looking forward to using the holley software on the street. I use HP tuners on another one of my vehicles and the capability and integration of the Holley is just awesome. Idles great with the Holley 120 lb injectors - just need to work on cold startups.
I have learned a lot on this project to say the least and I hope by sharing information if anybody else does an lsx swap they may be able to take something from this thread.
