Hey,

I stumbled on this site from one of the admins personal sites. After reading several threads, this is the right place for my questions.

A little background - I'm 28, married, and have a zoo of pets running around. My wife loves cars nearly as much as I do....she's a keeper! I grew up in TX, but currently reside in OK and should be relocating to IN this summer.

My current project is my daily driven 2001 S-10 Xtreme x-cab with an auto v6. I would really like to swap an LS1 in to wake things up.

My next project I hope to build with my father, is a late 60's camaro SS, chevelle SS, or el camino SS, doing a show quality build, but still able to hit up the track on the weekends. A supercharged LS1 with late model suspension is what I have in mind.

Hopefully I can gain some great knowledge from everyone.
