Totally understand the patience aspect- I think I have three full days in my exhaust.

in such a short time frame???? You kicked tail on that build. Thanks again for all the ideas.
The Camaro tach is a cool mod that looks stock to the untrained eye, but I can't take credit for it- just the documentation of it- nabbed that idea from a member here... As far as the kickin' tail; I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of leave saved up, a boss who didn't mind me disappearing every other week, a fiance who wanted the truck done for wedding photos, and who was keen on financing the build via the wedding budget Kind of a perfect storm of circumstances- it was a bunch of work, but now we have a 'restored' platform ready for future modifications.

Me too! This board is a blessing and a curse. I have stolen tons of ideas here and hopefully contributed a little along the way. So, LS drivetrain?
