Greetings to all, new to this forum

[LT1powered]

I just thought it would be appropriate that my first post be used to introduce myself.

I have a 1986 2wd SWB Silverado. It belonged to my grandpa and I bought it from my family after he passed away a few years ago. I am in the process of fixing it up and right now it is in the body shop getting painted back Frost White. The truck has 69,500 miles on it and is pretty much just stock right now with a few exceptions. It was originally a 305, with some 3:08 gears. It would not hardly get out of its own way so I swapped out the 3:08's for some 4:11's and soon the 305 is coming out and an aluminum headed LT1 out of a 95' Camaro will be taking its place.

As for other cars I take an interest in, I have a 1977 Trans-Am (pretty rough, but still driveable) and my other love is a 1970 454 4-spd Corvette that I am just about through with restoring (it now features a 525hp 496 stroker and a Tremec 5-spd.)

I am a certified gearhead and I am glad to have found this forum. I am sure I will have lots of questions in the upcoming months and I hope that you guys will be able to help me out along the way.
