This is probably not the correct forum to ask that question or answer it, but the answer is quick so I'll give it...
You'll need a place to store your photos online. Photobucket is popular, but there are others. I use photobucket, so here are the instructions for that...
Upload the photos to photobucket
Hover your cursor over the photo - and icon appears in the upper right of the photo
Click the icon and choose Get Links
Copy the *last* link text from photobucket into a posting
That's all, other than maybe learning to navigate around and organize photos in photobucket.

I'm in the middle of a swap right now...just finished getting most of the components together and now am focusing on the assembly process.
Car: 1991 Nissan 240SX Fastback
Motor: 2002 Camaro Z28 LS1 & 6Spd
I have a build thread up at: v8 Silvia, might make one here as well to share with LS folks, as I'll need help troubleshooting this and that.

1965 C2 Corvette LS1 & C4 suspension I am down to a few issues. I don't want to just throw parts at this. I need to know whether a 7" dual diaphragm booster and master cyl (dual disc) will fit here? Also, has anyone tried the C5 radiator in a C2? The dimensions look like they would fit? I plan on using the stock '87 clutch hyd cyl and hook up to the LS7 clutch set up. Also the fuel line, where do I get a long tube to bend with the quick disconnect end on it?

G body swap Hi,did't know this section was here for a while. Good to know cause I seem to be getting what feels like some cold shoulder out there on the other traditional LS sections. I'm gathering parts to do a 6.0 LQ4 swap into a 81' Malibu 2dr. Landau. So far I have the rolling car with no motor/trans,complete LQ4 with all accy's,harness and computer,TH400 short tailshaft,centerline wheels with new front tires and new MT street drag radials,two racing bucket seats,15gal fuel cell,Hurst 1/4 stick shifter,96mm aluminum intake w/101mm TB and fuel rails. Rear is a 7.5 10 bolt with Auburn posi,4.10 GM gears,Moser axles,C-clip eliminators,aluminum girdle rear cover with studs. fiberglass 2" cowl bolt on hood. next will be cam/lifters, flexplate/torque converter parts, fuel pump/reg,and lines. Plan on leaving block and heads stock with exception of good valve job with good springs. Will be using 100hp shot of spray also. Don't have any pic's on home PC yet but will transfer and post. Need help with oil pan fitment suggestions. Not sure if truck pan will fit. eng is a 2001 LQ4 out of Silv 2500HD(steel block). Thanks......

Swapping out a tired 4.0L and 5 speed AX15 with a GenIII 5.3 L33 and 4L60E. Should almost double the horsepower. Incorporating the GM CAN buss and BCM with Cruise Control and Auto Start.

vehicle is a '65 Pontiac Lemans Convertible
receiving a '13 5.3 engine/6L80E trans liftout from a Silverado with 11,000 miles.
The original truck intake manifold wouldn't clear the hood so a BBK intake and fuel rails were installed. To eliminate pulley clearance issues a Holley accessory drive was installed. The truck manifolds wouldn't clear on the driver side and couldn't find any F body manifolds locally so Hooker cast iron manifolds were used - perfect fit!
not running yet should be about a month.
