Default Hello From deep South Texas

Hi I'm Joe, but my friends call me different names including Joey, from Brownsville, Texas (Deep down south on the border with Mexico) and I drive a 1997 Chevrolet Camaro T-top. Sadly it's the 200hp version powered by the 3800 series II 3.8L V6. No worries though cause I'm slowly scratching up the cash for an LS1 swap.

Thanks guy I'm sure I will. I'm scratching up the cash so that by the end of this year I'm going to buy a used engine package from tacreationsusa.com and I'm selling everything I won't need from camaro. Then I'll alsa o want to sell the cam and heads so I can get the local shop to rebuild the engine and install a top end kit from trickflow before swapping the LS1 and 4L60E into the Camaro.
