Default My new project!

This is what I have been up to this summer instead of racing. My company took our company trucks away, so I figured I'd need one around. Well new trucks are 30-40k and that just wasn't in the budget, so I got this - Its getting a 5.3 out of a 2000 chev pick up, fuel injected using the stock computer. The pics are from the previous owner and show his old LT1 in there, I have the motor in, wiring harness modifed to stand alone, hopefully up and running next weekend....Then I can start racing again since this will be towing me to the track!
