Default New Lurker finally pulling a trigger on an LS

Sup,

I've had my 1972 Chevelle for 11 years, my cuzn' had it before me. This is the first car I worked on as a kid. He use to hang me in the engine bay to get that #8 rear header bolt befor i could see over the door panel lol. First car I have ever change plugs in, been in racing in, done donuts in as well. The car has had small block and big block and I finally made the choice to go LS turbo being price to price for a 496 I come out with more power with the LS so I've seen.

Been doing all my research using this site for about 2 years so well be firing off a bunch of questions here soon any help greatly appreciated!!
