To answer the above question I am buying new stuff for 2 reasons

#1- For $150.00 I don't want to get the whole engine together and installed and have the water pump/alternator quit on me. Don't think they will but it is such a negligible cost at this point I might as well do it. New battery is because my old one is shot.

#2 - I have a very small window in swapping the engine and the more assembled the new engine is the more likely we can knock it out in 1 day for the swap.

Also with the LS6 PCV on an LS1 I would recommed grinding the cover and not your engine block.

As for the rest of the stuff it is going to be a pretty high RPM (might see 7500-7700 if I am that brave) and also probably going to have a nitrous system in the near future so I wanted the most powerful spark I can get and injectors that can handle the extra load in the future. I probably could have gotten away with stock coils but I am interested in MSD's programmable controller that is coming out this year and the Nology wires should be pretty self explanatory. I've installed them on about a dozen cars and they are just an awesome piece of equipment, only downside is the grounds on all the wires which will be easier to install now with the engine out then in the future.
