This will clear up some floor space for the truck to get back in focus.
I will update the album this weekend, it has come a ways since the pictures, we now have the frame blasted and refinished, the motor and trans in place, had to fabricate the engine mounts for LS to fit in the cradle. We do some fabricating in our business, so having a plasma table made that easier.
Been a lot of fun so far.
Chemo again next week, so I will be out of it for 10 days, so trying to make some hay this weekend.
Best.

Oh heck, you're a fabricator! Please post some detail on that (with pics) because people are always asking about fab stuff here. I hate that you're swapping for an LS, but share the knowledge and I'll forgive ya.
On that same topic I just talked with my machinist guy about my boat motor and he said that the first LS motors were cast by Mercury Marine because GM didn't have the experience or the maneuverability to get a decent aluminum engine put out in anything approaching good time. Lot of collaborating there I guess. Smart of them to do that since GM is the size of a small government and probably takes forever to go from drawn to driving.
