Those are where the 2 knock sensors go.

The aluminum pipes are the steam vents. They connect to the heads.

Yes.... thank you, that's what I was picturing, ha... knock sensors, I'll get new ones..

My luck... auto part store harmonic balancer kit, sux.. doesn't reach inside threads to push HB in ... home made?
Oil pan torque specs? Thanks bro

Be VERY careful w/ the hb tool... Some are JUNK, and can be broken off in the crank.
There is a specific procedure used to install and torque the hb. I use the ARP bolt.
There is also a specific procedure to install the pan.
LS1tech is a good source.

Hey thanks chuck, I decided to call a few GM buddy's to come by and give me a hand at the house, I'm so new with these LS motors .. boxes from ebay are flooding the door, bolts, sensors, ect..
On the flip side , everything looks like it will bolt on with no issues, soon the motor and tranny will be in the car,plugging in the harness and she's ready to fire up.. taking things slow ,but we'll worth the wait and money.. I get butterflys in my stomach, knowing that day is coming. Here some pics, thanks again. .
