Default Hello from Enterprise AL

hello. I guess a little introduction is in order. I live in Enterprise AL, I'm 25 and in the process of building a 1970 Chevelle while i drive a 08 malibu as a daily drive.. and i fully believe that my malibu has more power than the original motor in the chevelle 3.6l v6 vs 350 small block.. now i'm rebuilding the chevelle.. i decided it needed a new soul so i decided to upgrade the 1st gen small block for a more recent 3rd/4th gen.. i was originally looking for a LS2 to transplant until someone showed me that the vortec motors are the same except ironblock and built more for torque.. so i picked up a vortec 6.0l shortblock.. put a 4" eagle rotating assembly to make a 402ci motor i belive.. i'm only about 30% complete with the motor and well thats why i'm here.. see you guys around cheers!

edit working on pictures.. i have quite a bit stored on my old computer but i just upgraded to a Averatec all-in-one (early self christmas present and love it).. so until i can get the time to get my old computer connected again and move them to a thumb drive we'll have to wait.. however i can snap some pictures of what i'm working with right now in the morning and i can get them set up.. uh also i guess a question a few of ya'll might be wondering is and i forgot to discuss.. FI or Carb?.. Fuel Injection!
