I talked to him tonight and he said the insurance company totalled it.

Vann Yes it was a lack of experience with a LS1. The only other vehicle he has ever had was a 4 cyl. sonoma that he wrecked a couple of times because he let it get away from him.

Good news, my sister's car is running like a top, my truck got completely done tonight, and almost got done with the four wheeler, still trying to break it in right. To much money in a four wheeler motor to blow it up right away. So today has been a good day except for the fact we had 2 structure fires at 1:30a.m. that we were on till 5:00a.m. and then my shift started at 7:00a.m. So i am a little tired.

I am ready to go to steele when does everyone want to go?

Yeah, I was gonna see what I could buy it back from the insurance company
for if they totaled it but they wanted $5500 to buy it back and that is more tha I wanted to give for it.
It shouldn't be long before I'm ready to carry thetruck and try it out.

Not right off hand. I traded the only one I had. Also you may want to read into the swap. Theres a lot of stuff that needs to be changed. K-member being one of them, trans and etc.... It was more work and money then it was worth to me...

Ive heard that the stock LS1 K-Member will bolt up and thats how the motor will sit in there. Then get the 99+ fuel rails and the fuel line will just screw right in, then i figure get the ECM for the year motor and trans and then ill just use autometer guages to monitor everything..

I just hate the LT1 lol.. Also now being able to afford an LS1 TA or Camaro right now well i figure why not jsut sale the LT1 and get an LS1 in it
