Talking A HUGE thanks to Cali Generalz!
Just wanted to thank you guys again! The short notice V8 swap was tough but you guys busted your asses for me to get it done, and I truly appreciate it. This car is amazing now and it was totally worth it in the end, as well as the process being a great learning experience. Major thanks to SRJ, Alex, Marcos, Johnny, Will, and everybody else who helped out!!

P.S. Sorry again for being an *** every now and then.

V8 SWAP PIX!

Oh yeah. It's gonna take a long time to get used to the LS1.

Nope. It sure felt like it sometimes though.

3 days. Alex and Jason were even able to bolt my V6 back into the donor car so I could get it out of there. Still some things to do to get the LS1 at 100% but I can take care of most of them. It is driveable right now...

Yup. You could even say that SRJ and Alex are simply outstanding.

Dam dude I had no idea this was gonna happen so quick. Wish I would've known earlier so you could've used my warehouse for some more room and could've lent a hand and learned a bit. Big congrats are in order and a commendation for all that helped out. Hell of a project to knock out in such a short period of time. Time for a lid, ls6 intake (if it's not an 01+ engine), ported MAF & TB, headers, duals, and a tune! ... yah that'd be a good start!

... but yah get used to the LS1 - it's a great motor and will treat you well. Oh and really respect it in corners... it's good at flipping that rear end out hard lol
