Default Conversions on the Power Tour

OK so it may be the wrong section but, how many are working hard on their LS conversions to get them ready for the Power Tour?

My "old" stand by 79 Camaro with an LS1 is ready to hit the road. Started with the turn of the key this spring.

Working hard to finish my LS6 Wrangler. Should be done in 3-4 weeks.

If the Wrangler isn't ready I suffer with the Camaro.

I'll be there in the wagon again, not working on it though, it's been done for almost a year.

I have always wanted to go, but I can`t ever find the time to. Sure doesn`t look likely this year either

But my car is always ready to go.......well ok, I think I need a set of spark plugs right now....I think I must have cracked a porcelain today changing the control arm bushings......had to pull the pass exhaust manifold to get room

I would do it if they would get just a little bit further West. One of these years

I'm getting mine ready for the tour as well. I've only got 500 miles on my hotrod since the conversion and everything seems fine. I can't wait. I just have to install the factory cruise control and give her a good detailing and I'm ready.

My neighbor Josh and I were talking about the same subject this weekend. If I can get the Cobra done in time next year we'd love to do this..

I am working away to get it up and running by then.... I have my fingers crossed that all works out and I am not overlooking anything.
