So the cost involved is not the object-it is the challenge of the project and having what I want when its done that matters to me. I need to get my hands on a SS so I can put it up on the lift and study the underside. None of them around here that I know of, though.

My winter project is starting this weekend...the motor is getting assembled this Saturday, and will hopefully go in next weekend.
Just in time to break it in and get some baseline runs in before Gainesville closes!
My "winter" plans (have to use that term loosely in FL)
*gather parts for T56 swap
*dyno/tune new setup
*4.10s/Eaton
*TNT wet kit
*22's
Some other long term projects--
*Denali lights (front clip too?)
*LT's
--or--
*custom TT setup
I can't wait to see what the LS1 is going to do!

I'm keeping it simple on my truck: LS1 Edit, UPD, and shift kit/servos.
For my rockcrawler: Stetching the wheelbase to 100", front shackle reversal, new drive shafts, rebuilding the transfercase with HD parts, new clutch, and lower the lift some.

-4.10's
-Edit
-Maybe upgrade my injectors and junk all my Whipple fuel mapping/aux injectors/safety devices. It all depends on how I can manipulate Edit to help me the most w/those aux injectors.
