Default 72 LS6 / T56 swap plus suspension upgrades!

I started out about 2 months ago, stashed a few dollars and bought some parts. Let me know your thoughts. Me and my buddy are doing all of the work (we think). It's our first time going this far in.

I wish I knew how to add pics to this thing without having to upload them,. I've got quite a few new ones. Any one know how?
