Newbie from Fla
 

Hey guys! Well, I finally went and did it! My son (12 yrs old) calls it project "Pro-crastination" since it has taken me 10 yrs to finally go with an LSx motor! I've owned her for 17 yrs, she's a '68 SS vert w/ all pwr options (PS,PB,PW,top), A/C car. I restored her 10 yrs ago, but didn't go "all-the-way" until now. For you "pureists", don't worry, she didn't have the original drivetrain in her, so that is why i figured on LSx.

Brian @ ScreaminPerformance gets to do the honors and is kicking @ss! Albeit that he's finding 40+ yrs of "neglect" on the undercarriage. That has led to going the Pro-touring way! I am going with:

DSE uppers and lowers
Hotchkis sub connectors
AAW re-wire
Vintage Air Gen IV
QA-1 conversion
LS2 w 4L70E (that's for Momma!)
18x8s and 18x9s

Watch the build as it progresses...http://www.screaminperformance.net/gallery/Current%20Projects/TC's%2068%20SS%20Vert/index.html

Well guys,

Here's the updated "link". Brian is about ready to finish the floors (a real show stopper that I wasn't ready for!!) and then the fun begins! LS2 is enroute from Travis (daytonayellowz on pro-touring dot com) and Brian will be hanging the brakes and the subframe next week!
