Default New guy from Texas

Hello, LS1tech!

I joined because I'm working on a 5.3 swap into my 1974 Chevy Nova which will eventually be turbocharged. For now, still working on the suspension. Upgrading to disk brakes, polygraphite bushings and new springs and shocks over my Christmas break from school, so when I finally do get it running my suspension won't be 30 years old still.

Looking forward to learning a lot before I try the swap!

I am a displaced Texan myself - welcome. The Texas section here is very busy, and you should find plenty of information for your swap!
