Default New LS guy from Arkansas

Hello, Life long Ford guy from Arkansas....I know, I know...but I can no longer deny the advantages of an LS swap.
Just purchased an original 1978 AMC Gremlin that was bought by the government in 78. I bought an 05 Tahoe 4.8 with all accessories, harness, computer and 4L60.
Plans are an 8.8 rear end, sump in factory tank, ET street radials, 4.8, the VS racing turbo kit, cam/springs upgrade, injectors. And hopefully you guys will give me good advice and keep me straight. lol

Default LS Gremlin update

Progress has been slow, but moving forward. Waiting on head studs, oil pump, lifters, and injectors...
Engine mounts are completed and test fitted.
