Default New from Texas

Hi I am new to LS Tech. My Brother-in-law and Father-in-law talked me into building my wife's 1974 Nova. When we pulled it out of the field it was a lot worse than we thought. Had to replace floor pans and quarter panels that were full of rust. Coverted the front end to a 1970 front end. I found a LQ9 6.0 from a junk yard. Did a complete refreshed and balanced the motor. Changed the cam out to a MS4 Cam. My wife wanted it to have a big nasty sound. Baught a six speed and had it rebuild it by Jason from Texas Drivetrain rebuild it. Sill working on the body, hoping to get it in primer in the next month or two.

Getting on to look for some parts to pick up soon, looking for some electrical stuff.

Will post some pictures of it later.

Thanks
Ryan
