Looks good so far! I have to second ( or third) the motion of what you have to start with will make things much easier. I am building an a.d. /s10 swap using the ls. I have mixed feelings about what people are saying as far as to just stick with what you have for the powertrain. The s10 swap isn't overly difficult, but there are many, many man hours before you have something you can actually drive. That being said, go with your gut. If you want a ls engine, do it now. Being able to complete the build with the original powertrain will be satisfying in itself, but with the fuel injected v8, you wont be able to remove the smile off your face with a baseball bat! Happy building and keep up the good work and posts!
