Default Old Dog looking to learn new tricks

Hey everyone. I found out about LS's and this Forum thru Sloppy mechanics youtube channel by complete accident LOL. I am or "was" a hardcore ford man, mainly 351 Cleveland but have been out of working on engines or cars since 1989. I got out of doing it because of all the frigging electronics, computers smog, etc... makiing it hard for a person to work on or modify their own car anymore. I was recently searching around the internet looking to see if there were any new cleveland engine designs but didnt find any (sad). These things called LS's and LS swaps kept coming up in with my searches so I finally ended up checking one out and it was a youtube channel by some sloppy guy. Checked out a lot of his videos (really sloppy) and dang if I aint hooked now . After many years of doing the speed limit and being very careful to not have those pesky gumball machines lite up behind me I guess I have hit my mid-life crisis and now want to go fast and smoke some tires again. These LS engines are really cool, ****, rad, awesome (thats sick to this current generation LOL).

As the Title and introduction says, I'm an old dog looking to learn some new tricks, so I will be reading alot of you guys posts and most likely asking a h*ll of a lot of questions. Be seeing you.
