Sweet... She could care less about vehicles, but this could alter our route from Peoria IL to El Segundo CA

If you ever get bored come to Tulsa on a Friday or Satudray night, cruise Memorial Drive between 41st and 61st from 9 to Midnight.. there is TONS of muscle out.. me and my buddy were out in his Charger R/T and came across a guy in a 1st gen 4dr Jimmy with a 350! Not many sleepers though.

Yea that would be sweet. Didnt know if you had the floor shifter or not.

Well i have got some stuff done but not much i lost my job i have an interview with a local transmission shop but who knows how that will go. Well i got the different balancer for a LS1 vette it lines up perfectly with the LS2 vette front drive accessories. I put the belt on its all perfect. I started on the interior and rolled the dash forward to get out the pedal assembly to change it over to a manual pedal assembly that was alot of work but not to bad. To my surprise the steering column came out with only 4 bolts. here's some pics
