Welcome to the group of Third Gen LS1 trans-planters. Even though there are many out there, they are rare in our local areas.

You should be proud of your efforts. Nice clean job.

newZman, who started the thread I linked, say's he's "Pacific NW". Not sure exactly where, but I believe that describes Washington state.

Saw another from Portland. Of course, not everyone lists where they are from.

I agree, nice looking swap.
