You can also lose those Bandaids that don't stay on your finger (you know, come loose) by cutting off your arm.

thumbs up , I agree and thats a good one. but for me it was a no brainer for now. I had the 383 lt1. and the tig welder to weld up the front cover holes. and mill to do the intake.

7730 ecm with $59 for now. collecting parts for the 411 LTx 24x setup from efi connction.

I wish I could have found someone to do the intake mods for me, my swap would have been done a long time ago..
