Thanks! Yes can’t beat these ls engines luv them! The one I put in this 61 was kind of a crap shoot bought engine and tranny off local classifieds. Guy said was a 5.3 / 4l60e 220ish km . $600 I loaded it up cleaned it up dropped the oil and when we hooked up the tuner to it said 4.8 I’m like whatever still be great for the wife to rip around in . Fired it up thing purrs like a new engine, oil pressure is high and not a tick or weird sound from the valve train . I said to the the wife let’s just put a little turbo right here for someone extra ponies she’s like no no I don’t want that lol. It goes pretty good though the rear gears are 3:90 and the 4l60e is geAred good . I don’t know how long that old 61 rear end will last though heard they can’t take much power .
I’m going to boost my 65 over the winter it should be fun
