I helped my grandma yesterday and was suprised how fast that she got a tag for my old car i gave her. Maybe they would consider it insurance fraud?? Idk thats the only thing i can think of but i only have liability on my car. Theres no point in paying full coverage because they wont give you anything for your car and they look for every excuse and way to get out of paying so whats the point??

yup, still kicking it at bragg...trans decides whether or not you would need a different computer or not.....99-04 is definitely better...more power plus swapping is a breeze.....still gonna take labor though...

thats cool, i'm telling you though...if you wanting to swap and need to tear down, go get with ESG642T....he's lowered the price on his HCI setup, swap in a 4.2 while your at it, and you'll be more than pleased.He'll also build you a turbo set up, if you should so desire.

I'm only puting the cam in because the upper block was already apart.....as in before my decision I had as block with the pistons down in it...all I need to do is pull the timing cover and wam-0 pull the timing gears and chain off unscrew to screws and pull cam...its was only an extra 5 steps and I already had all the parts sooooo........F*** it lol
