Haha, yeaaa thats how it happens. I'm hoping to have my issues in my truck squared away soon, get the tuning sorted, and then have the LS7 swapped into my Camaro by the end of next summer so I can go to LS Fest and act all cool. hahaha

I think the only motor I would swap into my car is one of the new lt1 motors, just so I can still say I have an lt1 Camaro lol.
got a bit more done over the weekend, pulled the gas tank and its crossmembers, next is to pull the axle/leafsprings and the hitch and it will be a bare frame and I can get started on the rust repair and get it coated. I am expecting the bed will be done later this week and I definitely wont have the truck ready for it as I still have parts to order and source a spare tire crossmember

rolled the axle out from under the truck and I am done with the teardown of the frame. had my buddy who is painting the bed look over the frame and he suggested just plating the inside of the C channel with 3/16 plate and adding gussets instead of splicing in a new frame section and then building my own cross member out of rectangular tubing since I don't care about the spare tire mechanism. he let me borrow his mig welder to do all the work, I just need to order the materials. I am going to measure out what I need tonight and order the metal. once the metal comes in I will get to making some sparks and get this thing finished up.

Now winter is upon us so I assume you're taking a break on your truck until spring thaw?
nope, still working on it, been in the 50s-60s during the days for the last week and hopefully the next week or so too. getting the tank for the welder filled up today and hopefully be able to finish up the welding on the frame this weekend and start putting everything back together. I have some of it welded, just ran out of gas. motor swap is going to have to be postponed till next spring, but I will be able to get the motor and trans ready to drop in over the winter as well as make sure I have everything associated with the swap ready to go
