      Thought I would post an update.

      Hello, My name is Tyson Livingston, I live in Monroe WA Ive been a long time member but never introduced myself, or my car, so here it goes...

      I have a 1970 chevelle Malibu that HAD a 383 stroker and th400 with a 12bolt posi and 3:73 gears, but I just sold everything out of it and currently swapping in a 6.0L lq9 and a 2002 t56 trans. Also swapping a ls1 intake onto it (I will swap a ls6 later) Here are a few pics of the swap, and a video of the old 383 motor idling and if anybody has any questions I will do my best to answer...THANKS
      Here is the donor, 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV

      All cleaned and painted with truck intake..

      Ls1 intake and ported throttle body (ported by me)

      Setting it in..

      Motor hits my heater box

      Hangs really low :(

      I can't stop laughing at it.

      Looks like a cool project. Hope you weren't anywhere near that ESV when it wrecked.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I bought the motor off Craigslist...the Escalade rolled at 80mph and everybody walked away, or atleast thats what I was told. The profile pic is not of me, I found it on Ebay while looking for a halloween costume, I found some guy selling a kids pink Carebear costume...but why the 40 year old man decided to wear a childs costume-and take pics? I have no idea. So I stole the funniest and most creepy pic he had. I wish I would have watched the auction end to see if someone actually bought it.

      Finally got some new parts this week...

      Some new Edelbrock headers...

      Not very impressed with the coating on the headers-lots of runs and didnt make it through shipping without being rubbed off by the cardboard.



      Also got my new Spectra tank
