Default Lucky newbie
Hi all, I'm the insanely lucky guy that won the Optima Full Ride. My Chevelle is now powered by a brand new LS7. Thanks to everyone who may have voted for me. I look forward to learning about these awesome engines.

Cheers!

Car just got back to Sean Hyland Motorsports in Ontario to tie up loose ends (serp. belt, install inner fenders, adjust clutch, hook up Air Conditioning). Should take delivery in a few weeks. Here's the pics!
