    Brand new from Iowa

    Hey guys, just found out about this forum from over at ls1tech.com, figured since i am building a truck (van) that I should be over here as well.

    I am putting an LM7 into a 66 chevy van, and have tons to learn as this is my first late model swap. I recently picked up the motor/trans and have sent the harness and pcm to be reworked. I am currently trying to figure out the fuel system (just bought the corvette regulator/filter tonight and need to come up with a pump...

    anyway, hoping I can poke around here and ask questions as I try to accomplish this swap.

    It doesn't matter what it looks like, sounds like a fun project. Welcome, nice Nova. Any Gen III/IV swap is welcome. Lots of good info here.

    Welcome! I flew into Des Moines last month and drove to Hampton for my brother's wedding.... It was like 15 at night.... Don't know how y'all do that up there

    Racing is a real sport. Because football, baseball, soccer, and golf only require one ball.
