LS swap
Here's just another one for the board. Project has been sitting for a while and its time to get started getting the old out. Still have parts to buy but lots of labor that I can be doing. Got it on jack stands to start junking it out. Took most of the accessories off the motor. Trying to decide to cam or not to cam. Still sending it to be freshed up with good bolts and such.

mamo cam works real well.
You can get a low mile 03-04 Z06 cam off ebay for about 100-150 that will pick it up some too.
Doesnt take much cam at all to really wake those up!
