Welcome. There is a OKC local f-body board also. Those guys could probably help point you in the right direction for picking up some stuff locally too for your project.

There is a ton of info here in the conversion section on topics like yours too.

Welcome, not too far from you here. It's a great site with lots of info, so just look around and I bet you will find what you want. And for your build, lsx block with 2 man-eating turbos and some spray.

Welcome from Yukon. There seems to be a lot of us Okies on this board. Your truck build sounds cool. When you get going on the powerplant you should start a progress thread in the conversions and hybrids section and update with pics along the way.

Hey forgot to tell you to PM ChevyChad. He is a local okie also & his brother has done a couple full custom truck builds with LS swaps in his garage. Before our local board shut down there was a few threads on them with tons of pics.
