Newbie from SoCal stopping by!

[Marauder]

Hey guys!

Glad I found this forum, all the other truck forums don't seem as motor swap friendly. This place looks awesome so far!

I have a '92 C1500 Std Cab with a 4.3L V6 and 5-speed manual tranny. I've had this truck in my family since '94 and now looking at turning it into a project. I've been into trucks before and have owned a '90 C1500 ext cab with a V8 before and now want some more guts in my '92.

I'm deffinately not new to modifying cars/trucks, being a mechanical engineer and working in the auto industry for almost 9 years now. I worked at Edelbrock for 4 years designing cast aluminum parts and working on both domestic and imports. Had a 2000 Honda Civic turned into a turbo show car, but now looking at selling that and working on my truck.
