Thanks guys!!
Yeah I may have a bit of an obsession going on
. I'm kinda sad though cause I just dropped the lights at the PO to go back to summit fir an exchange for flood lights so who knows how long its going to be till the new ones come back.
As for the next episode it's going to be a couple weeks cause we leave a week from tomorrow for Siesta Key for a week. I can't wait!! But for a hint of the next episode lets just say instead of vroom it goes VROOM and has 2 extra cylinders!! That will depend if its still available when I get back. But if it is it will be mine

Thanks tajohn!
Yeah I've been searching for ever for a good motor at a good price. I found a guy that's about a 2 hour ride selling a 00' vortec out of a 1500 truck. He says its got about 125k on it and sent me a current video (that he said my name in so I know it's not an old video) of it running and it sounds good on a cell video lol! If he's still got it when I get back from vaca I'll prolly grab it. He's selling it complete oil pan to TB for $250obo! His truck was tboned so he's just trying to get rid of everything ASAP. I'll be taking the time to go thru the entire motor anyway so hopefully it will be a good platform to start with.
