Thanks MD. I wouldn't say I was saving it hahaha. Life gets in the way sometimes. So, you have to make time for the important stuff. I figured this blog could wait. As long as I take lots of pics, the stories that go with them all should come right back to me! Now that I spent an entire weekend bringing you up to date, I think I may have to re-prioritize my stuff!

This LS engine is indeed nice. I really lucked out with that find! I don't want to spoil the engine management story by giving away the ending just yet, but let's just say you might be on the right path!

I bet you could sell those caps on eBay! If you're sticking with the 15 inch wheels, you'll have to do some research on brakes. I assume you're upgrading to discs at least in the front?

Thanks for all of the compliments. I'm pretty excited myself, about how the caps turned out. As far as the brakes are concerned, thank you for the suggestion. That's what I love about this board. I did some research and I think I found some old calipers that I will work with my old squarebody 4WD rally wheels.
