chevy71c10, I love the motor and the build on your 71. I kinda wish I went with a ls1 conversion now on my build but maybe in the future. I also understand what you mean by the heat. I only live a couple hours away from ya! It is so freakin hot!!! Plus I was stationed at Tyndall for 4 years. The heat and no c-ums suck there. Keep up the work looking good.
