Conversion forum specifics/vehicle platform request

I'm not sure who I should direct this question/request at (moderators?), but here are my thoughts:

I have been visiting this site for over 5 years now, and although I haven't posted much - this site and it's users are the sole reason that I have started my LS1/T56 conversion into my '66 Elky.

My request is for this Conversion section: make vehicle platform specific sections for the most popular LSX conversions, for example:

67-69 Camaro conversions
55-57 (tri-five) conversions
Corvette conversions
240SX S13-S14 conversions
GM A-Body conversions
GM G-Body conversions
S10 conversions
RX-7 conversions

. . . those seem like the most posted about conversion vehicles, and some have already gathered their own "sticky" or "post all (fill-in) conversions here" threads. I was thinking that sections might help users looking for help/advice/tips & tricks, etc. for their specific platform.

Good idea? Crap idea?

If this comes to be - I would be more than willing to perform some of the busy work, just let me know.

the traitors(just kiddin) did make a ford and dodge forum, seems a LSX(and maybe ford and dodge engine) swap forum would make sense.

I dunno, I think there are many things that are common to most conversions. I think if you split them up people might miss out on something really useful. Maybe some post about a solution in the RX7 Forum that someone doing a Chevelle would find useful.

That's my thought, maybe it's because I have an oddball swap and would be left all alone if we divided everything...

Stu Cool - I was thinking the same thing as I was typing - there are many applications that have "across the board" implications. My suggestion would not do away with the general posting under the conversions section - just add the specific catagories. I was just thinking that it might help people who have tried-and-true, proven methods for specific vehicles that it may help those who are in question for their swap.

Just thought I'd throw the idea out there!

I like to help when I can and I don't have a meathod of reading posts but if you post in a spicific thread, I may overlook it and no help for you... Lots of things are across the bord things. I used this forum when not too many people were making the swap. most of the questions I had were across the bord questions. I guess some times have changed but I like the current subject layout.

I really don't want to create subforums in here, since you can search on terms like Chevelle, Malibu, Camino, and get most of the relevant hits you want.
