No actual progess per se.... But I have found the old girl some new motivation
My son and I found an LM4 tucked in a 2003 Trailblazer last week. I was heading out of town, but he took off work the following day and spent not only that day, but a few hours the next removing it for me. needless to say, if you have ever worked on a Trailblazer 4x4, you know there isn't much room to begin with. Add to that the typical wrecking yard (just drop the vehicle on the ground setup) and you have a few hours added to any removal.
So, this all aluminum 5.3L is going into the burb after just some major cleanup and cam swap.
