Default silver-mod-o motor swap party!!!

This is still about 2 or so weeks away...

I've got a couple guys planning to come down and one or two maybe locally, but the more hands the better!!!

Ill be doing some of the prelim stuff early (pull the intake/disconnect wiring/hoses) and will also be yanking my G80 for a tru-trac at the same time.

Ill be yanking the 5.3 out from under the turbo and replacing it with the new mill in my sig as well as swapping the converter while the motors out and the rear diff. I've got a weekend of work ahead of me for sure I can sure use all the help I can get!

Beverages and lunch will be there... Ill have the grill going should be a good productive time!

I'm a little over 30min north of Beaumont, the exact weekend will depend on when Rex finishes this thing and Brian can ship it. Its looking like either the 24-25 or 30-31... I'm flexible on either.

If any of you know where Silsbee is, I'm about 10 min north of there.

Hell I think the barbecue and the beer would be worth the trip. Good luck with the swap. Vince
