Default Hello!! My name is Justin

Hi, My name is Justin, I recently joined ls1tech after using forums for a while as a guest!
I have a 1999 Pontiac Firebird that I am building right now! (Keep in mind I am a 17 year old and I never had my dad or mom help me, I learned everything about the engine and how to disassemble it on my own by researching online and reading books and a little bit of youtube)
If you guys want me to start a Build Progress post I can do that, It would go very slow due to the fact that I am only 17 so it requires a lot of hard work to save for some of the parts! P.S. This Build Progress will include my jump into a A4 to M6 swap!
Thank you taking time out to read my introduction!

FYI, My cars name is BlackBird... She is a 1999 Pontiac Firebird Formula A4 equipped with the LS1!
The name was inspired by a Beatles song that sounds too peaceful for this kind of car but it is my Black Firebird... So Im gonna keep it!
