Default Whats up, from Jersey

Hey...
I'm originally a Ford boy, just purchased an '86 IROC in showroom condtion. So, naturally I'm here to get some better info on swapping in an LS1 or LS6 for that old TPI. Looks like a great resource. By the way, I still got my '69 Mach 1, so don't go thinking I'm an all out Chevy boy now!!

Welcome, evn though your a Ford guy, just kidding. Thats cool about the conversion, my father has a 69 camaro 62 star fire and a 70 Boss 302, no discrimination there. IF the old motor out of the Iroc happens to be a 350 and you dont have any plans for it i may know someone interested if you like i could ask.
