Default New guy from Maryland and WAY out of my comfort zone

Hi everyone. My name is Rich Halsey from Harford county Maryland. Im taking a leap into the LS world and know very very little. I have been a hot rodder all my life and have had quite a few cars over the years. I have until now been a old school BBC/SBC and nitrous guy. I love to do fabrication work, mostly cage and chassis work. Love to build my own engines and nitrous systems etc.

Been out of the game a couple years and have decided to do something a little different this time. I am planning on building a single turbo 4.8l and putting it in a Volvo wagon. I know little about LS engines and little about turbos.

Looking forward to learning from you gurus and getting this this going.

Here is a video of my old car, was a bbc with nitrous street car

Ya same here, Comfort zone gone but will be back eventuallyI actually moved over to LS1s for reliability. I am sick of temperamental high strung 4.

I have sworn off dsms and though about setting my last dsm parts car on fire in homage...
