Haha, I appreciate it!
I got a buddy who’s planning an LS build in an old oval dirt car he picked up. I’m sure I’ll be back here pretty soon. -

That would be nice. I just don’t have 10+ grand to throw at a new engine and transmission right now. I’d rather just spend the 1500-2000 dollars on a new set of heads and cam because this engine is...
