Sweet, and the Meziere is 55gpm at idle up to redline, so I think it should be fine. I have an email in to them about their 55GPM HD remote pump, their 16"x25"x6" double pass radiator with fan and shroud, their LSx remote pump adapter plate, and the adapter fittings to run 20an hoses.
UPDATE:
After speaking with Meziere and some other people, we ended up going with:
Meziere MEZ-WP337S, Electric 55GPM Dual Outlet remote pump
Meziere MEZ-WP89U LSx Water Pump Block Adapter -12an
CFR HZ-40016-X3 Modular Aluminum Radiator 31" x 19"
CFR HZ-6064 8"x 3' Aluminum Overflow Tank
CFR HZ-1009-31 Radiator Fan Shroud
CFR HZ 1009CU 16" Electric Cooling Fan
as well as a whole bunch of AN fittings and Lines.

Got bored waiting on everything, so I decided to paint my block.
Meziere water pump fittings came in (obviously these 90s aren't going to work)
Steam Vent Kit
Radiator
Fan and shroud
Radiator parts
Granatelli 0 Ohm wires with heat shields
Meziere Remote water pump
The Monster Clutch set up came in as well, but there was a miscommunication and they sent out the standard weight flywheel instead of the lightweight, but they got it taken care of right away and the correct one should be here early next week.
Still waiting on my SLR Angle kit, and the Steering Shaft and headers from Vorshlag.
So when the engine arrived the p/s reservoir had been damaged (a broken hose barb). One of my friends just got a mill, and he offered to machine me up a new one. I am converting it to -AN fittings so I can run all AN lines to/from the rack as well. Here is his initial drawing

a look inside it
and the finished product
I think it turned out awesome!
Got it mounted up on the engine, I also converted the pump fittings to AN using a -6an Borgeson P/S fitting (925120) and an Earls Performance -10an compression adapter.
I also got the steam vent kit installed, and went ahead and painted the valve covers/throttle body/coil brackets. I think it's looking a bit better then before!
I picked up a set of CXracing headers from a member here in case Vorshlag decides to never make mine (seems like that's the case), and also Monster swapped out the 28lb flywheel sent for the 18lb one. Got an email that my Vorshlag steering shaft shipped today too!

nice ! .... interesting choice of color
good to see it coming together
Well, I was going through photos trying to find a color of roll cage that I liked with a black exterior - that will also match the colors of my wrap when it's done, and settled on purple.

Plus, It matches my dad's old drag car.
lol that makes two guys with interesting color choices for their swap parts
guess i gotta come up with something weird, don't wanna be left behind
Popular engine swap weights & stock engine weights
M42 + trans - 427lbs
302 + t5 trans - 475lbs
m20b27 + g260 - 497lbs
m52b25 vanos + g250 - 544lbs
351w + t5 trans - 572.5lbs
LS, aluminum block + t56 - 609lbs
LS, iron block + t56 - 719lbs, EST.

I actually love purple for some reason ... it will look good
Is it the angle on the pictures or the new power steering reservoir sits a lot higher? If it is much higher, check for hood clearance, it gets a little tighter in that area (at least on e36s).
Nice progress!

Well, the headers showed up, got them installed.
and the rear adjustable camber arms from Turner showed up
Went to make a payment on some parts from the roll cage shop today and take some measurements for the bash bar. Still no bars in the car. Bummer. Still waiting on my SLR angle kit (almost 2 months now) and the projected completion time for the roll cage is mid-december. Bummer, I am dying to get this engine installed!
Couple pointers from experience:
I have a LS6 stroker, forged internals, cam, tune, patriot stage II heads, LS6 intake etc. Made 420WHP with 415 TQ. These numbers were in denver. I use AIR (clint) for all my LS tunes in Arvada! Turns out the intake is my limiting factor right now! Also we gained 9 WHP by switching from and ITG foam filter to a similar sized Amsoil Air filter (Im a dealer now if you need one)
I also use the moroso remote filter LS pan. I have never had an oil starvation issue at all! two motors both with stock oil pumps 0 problems! I also prefer the moroso pan for the fact that its steel and it will dent rather than explode!
I didnt notice in the thread, but what ps pump are you using? I highly recommend using the BMW pump over the GM. There is a substantial pressure difference.
Also, I am running stock subframe, subframe bushings, and stock 325is axles in my E36 with no issues! 190k on the bushings and going strong LOL.
I need to stop by and check out this build!
How would you easily fit on the BMW PS pump? Seems like a lot of work for not much gain.
Status: Someone put glitter in my oil. Wait. Why's all my oil outside the engine? What's that knocking?
For now I am using the CTS-V pump, but apparently they are failure prone so I'll likely be changing to the KRC pump when it fails, or going electric.
Where is AIR at? I was planning on using Finish Line Performance to do the tuning. They did the tune on my Nova and I really liked their work as well as them.
I went with the Holley pan simply because Vorshlag says you HAVE to use it with their swap kit, and no other ones will fit.
You're welcome to any time! I should have the chassis back from the cage shop by Christmas (I hope).
I actually make a direct fit bracket! Its $100 It even uses the stock lines!
pm me for details
- - - Updated - - -
AIR is American Intense Racing in Arvada. I have had a CTS-v and I did change the pump twice in four years! The BMW pump fits really easy with my simple bracket and uses the stock lines. Also I had the holley pan and I took it back off. It hangs way to low IMO. My first event gouged it pretty bad! I made my own headers, but my moroso pan fits awesome with a ton of ground clearance!
Maybe one day. My LS2 pump apparently puts out about what the bmw rack needs. At least my PS feels fine.

Awesome build thread! 370-400whp will be plenty for what you want for now. You can run tall gearing and 265 tires with no problem at that power.

Count me in too!

Stopped by Rally.Build today to get the seat placement marked to build the mounts, as well as the steering wheel spacing figured out. The cage is a bit over half done, still needs a dash bar, harness bar, door bars, and rear supports, but the seats are there, the wheel and quick release / short hub are there, and the handbrake is there! Just waiting until January to order the harnesses so I can get another year out of them. They are thinking i'll be able to pick the car up Tuesday night!
