Think im keeping my truck as is for a while. same for the V

It's got a few modifications too. haha funny thing is i sold off some modular engine parts to pay for the harmonic balancer. And my granpa's car is totally boss! It actually makes less power than the truck but it's way quicker.

you need to get yourself a cam for that caddy. See people's faces at stop lights when it's loping at idle

In other news, this is a sweet picture

LS engines are awesome. But the 500 in my great grandma's 75 coupe de'ville was a monster! it would do the one wheel peel just as long as you held down the pedal. And it's the only 2 door I ever seen that could comfortably seat 10 people.
