Default Hi Guys!!

Hey guys (and gals)! Just wanna introduce myself. I used to be a member of f-body.org but have since sold my '91 camaro. Though, I do have a '72 Jimmy that I will soon be doing a motor swap soon, as well as, my '68 Chevelle (which I am about to buy back) and going new-tech on that as well. I heard I can get a lot of help in here. Look forward to chattin' with all o' ya'!

P.S. Don't let my name fool ya'

What's up Slammed '04 Silverado!?!

Thanks guys. Now to find out which motor to put in my Jimmy. LS1, LT1, or a newer truck motor like the 6.0. Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.
That's my Jimmy in my sig, BTW. I'm the 3rd owner and bought it 4 1/2 years ago with 87k original miles, has 106k now. Still has original (okra) paint from 1972 as well as the protect-o-plate, manuals, etc. Deciding to give it a make-over now that it hit over 100k miles. Currently has a 350, .30 over with Edelbrock Performer RPM package, headers, Dual Flowmaster DeltaFlow 40 Series, 4in. lift, and 35" BFG Mud Terrains. 350 hp at the FW. Next move is to swap the motor with a new-tech. Then raise it about 4-6 more inches for 38's or 39.5's. Then paint it something like an '04 Silverado Blue. I will definitely be busy reading this site thoroughly! If you guys wanna point me to a couple good topics with pics for an older truck motor swap like mine I'd be grateful. Cuts down on the reading time but don't mind doing it. Thanks again guys.
