Default A new beginning for the Vette *pics*

Just got back from a deployment and I have a few goodies that were waiting on me. . Motor is 418ci LS3. It will still be a little while before it all goes together. My land lords told my wife a week before I got home that they have decided to sell the house. So that puts the car on hold until after Christmas

Welcome home!

It's amazing to me that someone could put in a new engine on a DYI basis. You must have some skills.

Thank you for all of the support guys.. ok to clarify, since I did not, I am not the one doing the work. I have turned wrenches for 8 years now on C-130 and CV22 fuel systems. Fixed a decent amount of problem on my own ride. With that said, I do not posses the knowledge or the PROPER tools to even begin a job like this. I wish I did but I do not. I have a trusted shop that will be doing the install.

May be hard to do unless i drive to the shop alot to take pictures. Like i said, i am not the one the doing the install. I wish i had the know how and also, just as equally important, the TOOLS! Your everyday wrenches n sockets arent gonna be enough for this job.
