Great day today, took the vet out to the Jordan chicken run and car show with family and the crew. First time I have really taken the vet on the highway, and not just puttered around town. She did great and was a blast on the highway.

Well, looks like I'm more than likely going with a 6.0 LQ4. my brother grabbed two 454s from his work...first one was locked up so we pulled it apart and found it full of antifeeze with a thrown rod. second one we pulled apart and it needs machine work. After two strike outs, I've decided it's going to be better to just pull a running motor. He messaged me a 2500 HD truck just came in rear ended but still running, so hes going to pull it for me and load her up, so we are locking it in with an LS.

Not much has happened, school has started back up and time is not my friend. I did meet up with the guy I bought the shell from and he gave me the rear sway bar he found that came off the z28. Pretty thick to..1 inch thick. Not sure if its stock or not, as I didn't think the rear sway bars on camaros was that thick. Ive usually seen 5/16 on them. Another piece of the puzzle anyway.
