Default Newbie from Kansas...Pics

I've been checking out the site for a few weeks and found alot of useful info...in not building a truck which im sure most of you are...I bought a 5.3 out of a 2001 chevy silverado with 80k that im going to put in my 1978 Pontiac Phoenix (not a Nova )..i going to buy a Gm Hot Cam from a guy on here, also have a LS1 intake and ported TB that im going to use, along with a built 4L60E with a shift kit and a 2500 stall, next will be getting a posi unit and gears for the rear, and some 275/60/15 M/T Drag Radials...Here a few pics of my car as it sits now with a junk 305....Justin

Don't use the hotcam, please


and don't use an LS1 intake. If you need the hood clearance, use an LS6 or FAST intake.
