Default Noob here.....lol

What's up guys/gals? I'm the quincentennial NOOB as it may seem...lol. I own a 1986 G-body Olds Cutlass that is going to be getting a Gen III 6.0L transplant with either a 4L80E or a built TH2004R. I have begun my journey into the Gen III swap by purchasing an almost new block for $50. It is a completely bare block with main caps and used main/cam bearings. Forgive me if I ask a LOT of questions regarding my new build. Long term goals are AFR 205 heads, fat cam (for street use) new forged crank, rods and pistons and FAST LSX intake. I really appreciate all the help you people can/will provide me with. I look forward to my adventure in Gen III performance.

Phillip S.
