Most of us on here dont have the luxury of being able to pay someone to do our work for us. Some of us prefer to do things ourselves. whatever the case, the most important tool you can have is a manual. i decided to start this thread to gather some of the better manuals for basic maintenance as well as doing full blown swaps. here is one that is highly recommended:
Amazon.com: How to Swap GM LS-Series Engines into Almost Anything (S-A Design) (9781932494815): Jefferson Bryant: Books
'02 Silvy: Z71 EC Step Side 5.3L Nelson tuned
2013 GMC Acadia: SLT1 Carbon Black
1976 Corvette Stingray: Trying to save it, progress is slow.
