Newbie From Canada
Hey everyone I am new to the site, as well as LSx performance in general. My current LSx vehicle is a 2001 silverado ECSB with a weenie 4.8L. It is my daily driver, and soon to be my tow vehicle to get my car to the track. My father runs an engine building shop in our town. All of the stuff he does is carbrulated, and most of the time stroked, pump gas stuff. He seems to keep fairly busy with that, so I am planning on sinking my teeth into the EFI stuff in the future.
As for my truck, I haven't quite decided what to do with it yet, but it is going to stay stock for a while. I am more focused on my car right now, and I have goals for it that I would like to achieve before I do much with my truck. It is a 1976 Dodge Aspen, powered by a 434ci. small block that drinks pump gas. We got the car out at the end of the year for the first time, and aside from the gears being way off and a big bog on the starting line, we were very happy with how it worked. I was able to run an 11.18 @ 118 mph. So now I need to put a bar in the car, along with the rest of the safety equipment. This was also done through an old stock casting set of heads.
I also have a 1996 ZQ8 Sonoma, that we plan on doing an LS power plant, and possibly a 5 or 6 speed tranny. This is my wifes daily driver, and she has always liked stick cars, so I am not going to argue! should be a fun little truck hopefully.
Here are a few pictures...
The day I brought it home...
soon added a 4/6 DJM lowering kit...
