Default Another new guy



Hello, Everyone,


My name is Gerry. I'm a long-time car guy, mostly bow tie stuff. I've poked around here searching for answers to questions and other useful information for a while. I'm a member of another forum or two and know the value of friendships, helping each other and sharing information, and decided this would be a good community to join. I know that I will get a lot of help from other members here when I ask for it, and I hope to be able to contribute, too.


The project I'm working on now (seemingly never ending) is a 1969 Chevy Nova. Born with a 307 and factory A/C, now a 383, but it will be receiving an LS2 and T56 (from two different 2006 GTOs) in the near future. I have the engine, trans, and some other parts, but finishing the swap is going to require accessory brackets, headers, and lots of incidentals that I haven't even imagined yet.


I know, everyone loves pictures, so I'll post one or two when I learn how. I tried to attach a couple and it doesn't seem to have worked.

EDIT: My second attempt to add pictures was successful!

I hope my intro covered all the bases without being too long,


Gerry

Welcome Gerry!

That is a clean Nova. It will be a sick ride with an LS2 and a T56. Is this your first LS swap?

Hello, Hopper. Thank you for the welcome, and the complement. I'm looking forward to getting the LS2 and T56 into the car, I think it will be lots more fun to drive. And, yes, it's my first LS swap, so I have a LOT to learn.
