Hi All
I am not fading away, just too busy in other areas of my life. I will start the project sometimes in the spring. Most likely I will go with LS1 and auto transmission. I am bit excited, I put insurance on my VX and it had seen road after two years. It runs like swisswatch, but LS1 will do it really good.

PS: Good luck with your project Coachreed.
