Default Hey from NC!
I've been a long time lurker of ls1tech. Name is Matt. Currently driving a 1992 S10 with 225,000 miles on a stock heads/bottom end 2.5L and 7.5" rear. Have taken many notes over the past year and found alot of good info here. Finally decided to come out of the closet and ask a few questions with a build thread to (hopefully) soon follow.

Aiming for a ford 8.8" 4.10 limited slip, T-56 from tick performance, LQ9 with L92 heads (Hopefully machine work can be helped by Tick as well), 11:1 dynamic, ls3 intake, and cam. All stuffed in a short bed 2WD S10.

Body and interior is shot but it can all be replaced

Looking forward to asking many questions

Will do, appreciate it guys. Ill join up on a few other forums once i have the ball rolling on a motor build, i might be able to have a few guys help out on a 101 T-56 rebuild. I have sourced the motor but want to get a few mis-understandings cleared up before i make the initial leap of faith.

I'm here in Columbia, S.C. Not much here as far as LS1 clubs. Charlotte isn't that far up the road for me. Are there any f body clubs that meet on a regular basis "up" there? Thanks
