Thanks for the kind words everyone! i am sure ill be asking for a lot of help! the only body off resto i have ever done myself was back in highschool in the mid 90's. And that was to a 76 chevy. Granted i have been involved in many car builds upgrades, installs, etc. Just trying to do a frame up resto myself can be daunting. I am doing a lot of research and so far this site is AMAZING. Like i said about the LS1 going into a 59. Probably gets in under some people skins, but I want a certain amount of HP/TQ and 20 MPG. Plus living in the bowl I do and having the main highway in and out being 75 MPH with only a 55 Minimum MPH limit I have to do it. and one more factor is having a 10 year old son who will probably own this truck when he starts driving i want it a bit more reliable. Dont get me wrong the i6 is great motor. I have the new version in my trailblazer. I just want no fuss no muss. And owning HP Tuners already from my Chevy Cobalt SS I can do all the tuning needed. Again thanks for all the kind words. You all are a WEALTH of knowledge and extremely nice!
