It works pretty darn good.

The current ride height is screwing w/my view when backing (I can't see the end of the trailer @ all) & it's a thirsty SoaB. But, since there's no payment, I'll live w/it until the LS swap.

I just got home from the shop. It's been a long, but productive day .

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Hey Scoti, I attached some fiberglass driveway markers to the back of my trailer so I could see them when backing up. They thread into and out of a nut that is welded to the trailer.... for what it's worth to ya.

Alot more lo-tec than a camera, but that's how I roll

Here is a link to the driveway markers at Home Depot.. they are $2.29 a piece! http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053

This is what I was going to look for @ my local hardware joint. I figured a couple of fiberglass type 'antennas' that I could just temp attach @ each corner for better line of sight.

In the interim, we dropped the t-gate. I'm always nervous about that decision though....

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
