  • not much to update, I got real sick for about 2 weeks, and we had some family stuff that came up, but I'll be getting some work done to the car this week! finally!

    Also, was just offered a complete 5.3 engine again with only 80k miles for $500, including wiring harness and all accessories.. so tempting (especially since I haven't started the 383 build yet)

          • thanks guys, maybe saturday (assuming the wife doesn't care) I could throw an open invite out to anyone who wants to swing by, I really only have a handful of things to do to get it going, but its just been hard to find the time, but things seem like they have finally slowed down and I am finding more time to work on the car. I am determined to have it at the meet and greet.. even if that means towing it there (last resort)

            • Yeah man. I'm game to help!

              • So I listed the old rear end, 700r4 and qjet/intake on craigslist last night and looks like I have interest in all 3.. wasn't figuring anyone would want that stuff.. but I guess so.. it'll put me most of the way towards the cost of that 5.3 haha! I guess maybe my plans are changing again! back to the LSx swap haha

                • Edelbrock intake is on, need to get a few little odds and ends for it to be fully hooked up fuel lines and such.. But I'll be grabbing those in a bit.. Hopefully will get a startup vid for ya'll

                          woohoo!!


                          So a small update, I am working out a deal with Darren on some small things needed for the car, he is providing me with the correct throttle bracket and a heater core for the car. He also said he was going to help me look into the fan wiring stuff, so thats good

                          I am going to take the tires and have them mounted here pretty soon. This is getting soooo close to being driveable!!!
