my rhd ls1 build

Just got my 68 GMC swb... day after I got it the clutch went out... was saving this swap for later when I was ready and more informed, but no time better then the present .. pulled out the straight 6 with the 4speed floor shift.. if anybody wants it let me know... picked up my new ls and stripped it down ..

Re: my rhd ls1 build

Thanks.. honestly I found it on Craigslist ... I traded my 07 Honda cbr600rr for it.. its not original ..it was converted by the kid before me.. that was what got me hooked.. always wanted a Rhd.. my dad is a mail man.. was thinking of doing an old school mail truck them paint. .. it was very intrusting driving it home, shifting with my left hand
