there may be a change of plans. I ran across a deal today on a complete drivetrain from a 99 suburban. actually anything I want off of it for $900 I know the owner and he was very picky about maintence he has all the receipts, oil changes every 3K, it was T boned in the drivers door but still runs and shifts fine. granted this is not as cool as a LS1 would be but LS1's sell for around 3K. also I may be able to use the stering column, pedal assy, booster, and maybe even the tank I will have to measure.
