Finally got the car off the jack stands. Need to do a little cutting and she should be laying frame. Today I found a nice rust hole in the floor. I think after I get the LS and 700r4 in place I'll start cutting the floor and and just body drop it. In the next couple days I'll get the air management hooked up.

Finally got the back to tuck a lot more, I need to bust out the plasma and do some trimming and reenforcement on the rear end x-member and frame

Do you really get that off that motor? That’s really not bad at all either. Yeah $300 core. No no machine work, Block looks solid just hoping to cam and springs and call it a day. I wanna say when I pulled it, the Tahoe had like 175k.

It’s literally all those reasons. I live in Colorado Springs at high elevation, I don’t wanna drive this car and have to worry about tuning the carb as I come down, just something I thought about. Then comes gas mileage for the long drive to a car show and use Sparks in the Ozarks in Noel, MO, that big block is gonna get pretty crappy mileage. The story on the motor I have, I work at a mom and pop dealership as their tech. We had a 09 Tahoe they were in cheap it had 2 collapsed lifter’s and told them let’s just toss a junkyard motor in it and call it a day. I asked my boss what the core charge on the motor, it was $300 bucks. So now I’m doing cam, springs, lifters, dod delete. Thank you Thank you

What’s up new to the group this is my project car it’s a 1973 Pontiac Grand Prix. I bought it from my girlfriends dad for a grand. I’m currently trying to wrap up the air ride and trying to get this thing to lay a little harder. We named the car Lilith. Also doing a 5.3 swap on it as well and collecting some parts for the motor.
