yeah I just wasn't used to standing in the same place for a whole weekend at a GG show.... I didn't even get to see all the cars at the show and that was weird. But it was a great weekend and I got a little taste of everything and had a lot of great conversations and met some Lateral-G friends, and I even sounded like I knew what I was talking about most of the time I think

Jody, did you end up coming?

For what it's worth, I've heard good things about Mike at Lewis racing engines as well. Have you considered this as well? - http://sdparts.com/details/gm-perfor...parts/12498792
Has just about everything you need, but it does not include water pump, carburetor, distributor, intake manifold, or spark plug wires. That way, you can chose your own and make a bit more power. I'm sure there's a warranty behind it as well.
GOOD LUCK!!

Before you start thinking I am way off my rockers....I'm not, but my line of work brings me to ask what do all the muscle car owners fell about a diesel swap. There is the 70' that had a twin turbo duramax in it. Do most feel that is not what these cars should even think about having in it or is that something way cool? Looking for opinion. I know it's way more work than many other swaps but like I said my line of work has me thinking. I am not really sold on it just looking for opinion.

I'm pretty sold on a big block crate 502 or having a a Big block built.

well, you have kind of an inside track on it, but as far as popularity or opinions I'd guess there's way more that don't get it than do.

I've seen the car in person and it's cool, but I would think most would not approve. Then again, I usually do what I want to do, but you asked opinions...............

I say it's your car and do what you want. There are pros and cons to any engine set up. If you have a way to make it happen and want something more unique, go for it. My personal opinion would be to go with the big block idea and add fuel injection to it. Great power, street manners (tuned right) and maybe some decent mpg.
But to each his own. Do what makes you happy with your car.

Nick I would LOVE to see you swap a diesel motor into that thing. I love the Duramax Chevelle. Saw it at SEMA 2 years ago. Amazing machine.
