Default Hello from Tampa, FL

Hello from sunny Tampa, new to the site not new to the automotive world.

Planning on swapping some flavor of LS into my 96 short box S10, came here to read up and gather some info.

I am an ASE master Tech and have done alot of swaps in the past, 4.6 into a ranger, 302 into a ranger, 4BT Cummins into a 96 C1500, mercedes 617 5cyl turbodiesel into an 89 Yota pick up, just to name a few.

Hoping I can learn alot and and give some helpful advice along the way :-)
