Default import guy turned domestic!

Hey all names Ronnie, I have been playing in garage for about 10 years. Mostly fwd drag racing nothing to serious, just weekend fun! I have decided to turn to domestics something comfortable fast and fun for the street! Project is a 1986 cutlass will be my daily driver, 50 mile round trip monday~friday. I have a ls1/4l60e combo in garage waiting to replace 307/th200, cant wait because that 307 is a dog! I love this site from the videos and articles on the home page to the forums and hope to get many questions answered about my swap, this will be the first v8 swap ive ever done.

Pics are stretching the page for me, but good luck! You will find a deep appreciation for N/A and raw power. I own both a 92 Camaro which is currently being retrofitted from an LT1 to an LS2, and a 04 SRT4. I love them both for their own reasons. SRT4 is a great DD for fuel savings and efficiency. The camaro...well nothing beats the raw loud power =)
