Default Getting ready for spring.

Hello all. I have been gone for awhile. Been lurking around a little. Got busy last summer and put a 350 into my 4x4 s10 for the winter. Had to drive the Monte so I couldn't do anything to it. Just drove the **** out of it. Raced anybody I could. Last was a trans ws6. Wasn't from a stop, but I would always pull on him. He would shut it down pretty quick. Gave me the thumbs up. Got smoked by a 60's el'camino. Big block. Just having fun. Anyway.

I am getting ready to do some part installs.
Scorpion roller rockers. 1.8
Oil restrictive push rods.
Ls6 valve springs.
DR strut tower bars. Front+Rear.
Optama red top battery.
Upgrade battery, alt, and ground cables.


Al I have done so far is polish the front STB brackets. Look like chrome now. And got Mobil 1 and filter. The car has been sitting all winter. Since about thanksgiving.

If anybody has installed these before, please let me know any tips. Anything that will help I greatly appreciate.

Thanks. I will put up some pics as soon as I can.
