Hi folks,

I have not visted or posted here for a long time. Hope everyone is well. Things have changed a lot since I started my LS1-'53 Studebaker Swap in December of 2004. I had it up and running in Spring of 2005, so it has been over 19 years now. I am pleased to say we are still enjoying the car after over 50,000 miles. I an happy to see this forum is still active and guys are helping each other out. As a pretty early adapter I can only say, I have no regrets! I have it pretty much the way I want it, though I am planning on changing my air intake. I want to use one of the Edelbrock universal kits. My goal is to get the air filter out into the fender and change over to the later blade style MAF. That should provide cool air and reduce some of the restrictions my current set up has. Take care everyone

Pat

Nice looking ride! It looks well engineered too,
I just looked up Olivelhurst. Nice area! Always like the Marysville/Yuba city area.
I'm about 250 miles south of you.
