    I will definitely try and get some more pictures up for you guys, will be sure to take lots with the swap!

    I live in Lethbridge, about a hour and a half south of Calgary and about an hour north of the US.

    For the motor I bought a 5.3 out of a 2002 RCSB, 60,000 km (36,000 mi) on it, and the transmission out of the same truck.

    So far I have a set of Schoenfeld headers on their way, custom grind cam (out of a 6.0 in an S10 that went 9.8 in the 1/4, not sure on the specs of it yet), 4000 stall Yank converter, LS1 intake and all the goodies that go along with that, doing a shift kit and servo in the tranny, thats about it so far. Should melt some tires with that TC and with the 4.56's. Going to be a fun project thats for sure!

    I have been reading alot in the forums for information, its sure great here! The guy I bought the cam off of is a genius with LS motors so he will be a big part of my build, some of you may even know him as Black X on s10forum.com

    Anyhow, I will try and get some pictures together, been pretty busy with the build so far but will let you all know how it goes without a doubt, exciting!

    Take care, talk to you all again soon and thanks a lot for the comments!
