No, an unexpected wiring harness issue(s) and a couple of other gremlins with my LS swapped 91RS back burnered the 02 Z28 plans for a while.

Have you nursed the '91 back to health? All that talk about using the 226/230 cam, mamo 102, and a ported factory cathedral port head on a 400+ LS2 has me anxious to see some numbers! I finally found a decent deal on a used rear end, so by spring I should have a S60 w/ 4.10s installed, and hope to get some track times on my 226/230, mamo 102, and AI 232 LS1 combo without fear of needing a tow home due to a busted 10 bolt.
