Bogus, I'd love to come hang with you guys but I'm heading home for a family gathering this weekend. I go to EIU and live off of 10th and garfield. Not an fbody guy, but I have been playing with v8 s10's for years. I'm currently working on a turbo 5.3 swap on my 94, just pulled out the 383 that I stuck in it a few years back. Maybe I can make it next time.
