Sorry,................didn't mean to turn this into a classified!
No, up till now, I didn't have it up for sale. It is for sale now, as a roller. No engine or transmission but everything else is intact. In the next week or so I will be advertising it, probably on Racing Junk and possibly putting up for trade on LS1TECH for a good 9" or 12" rear end for my Camaro. Its been back-halved with a narrowed 9", 31 spline axles, detroit locker, 4- link suspension, anti roll bar, wishbone, etc.............

I forgot that I said that I would repost this short video of my S-10 doing a wheelie at Bradenton. This one is what convinced me that I needed to move the instant center on my 4 link suspension to try to keep it from going too high. I was wasting HP picking the truck up, instead of pushing it forward.
I will say though,.......... it's fun as hell!

Whos bright idea was it to have thanksgiving on test and tune night?
465 whp is what my guess of what your have. Now your at about 335. But im factoring in loss with your new convertor. If it was a manual we would or could shoot for more of the 490whp range.
That may not sound like alot but thats pretty strong. Then with some suspension mods and if we turned the bottle on, well you know. It would be fast as hell!

jeez a week without internet and I feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth...
ex moved out and took the comp, so I finally just got set back up with one.
anyways, Mbaker pretty sure I saw you the other day in winterhaven. turning from cypress gardens blvd onto 17. I was in my work van.
I will not be in attendance at turkey rod run unfourtunately due to all my money going into my trans. it's getting rebuilt this weekend/beginning of next week so I will finally have a properly shifting and clutching car. got my o2 extensions also, so once I get the trans straightened out and the tune I will finally be totally done with my 6 speed swap some 6 months after it began. I should be able to make it out to more events and such as well since my ex will have my son on weekends, and I will have more funds available and noone to tell me I can't go haha

Geeeezzzzz, I'm buying parts as fast as I can! 
I hope I'm not holding your build up? I just added the parts up today. So far in November I have bought $1,725 in parts and have $1,280 left to go. This isn't including my converter and I really wanted that before BLINGOLE starts on my build.
How soon will you need the intake?

Well I haven't forgotten, it's just going a little slower than I thought. You know how it works, if you think it's going to cost $2K to do something, it will add up to $4K before it gets done!
