Really?

Some guy on the interwebs around here (who claims he has some quasi NASCAR connections) sez that them LS'sss are a lot tougher to work on than them SBtoos.

Nevertheless, yer budget setup is lookin' good BiggDubU.

That is one sweet engine you picked up. Like the direction you are going with the build.

Not so far my brother-----everything has been pretty straight forward, although it's still early.

I just wasn't thinking I would be reaching into my metric tools to take the motor apart---good thing I had them.

If you need someone to hold beer as you put that engine and subframe in, let me know. I'd be happy to help!
