Welcome to the boards! Not sure if there is any in your area (clubs that is). I know there is an Austin based local club. U might just have to seek out the local hot rod scene, and then start looking up the local thirdgens.

AS far a thirdgens, there is a wealth of info on this board about our cars, just gotta look for it.

Have fun!

Welcome to TGO :-D

There is indeed an Austin area club. AustinThirdGen.Org
Come check us out, we have monthly meets every first Sunday, and occassional meet up with all the Houston folk that are the majority of this forum.

As far as finding information for a thirdgen, this site is the place to be, use that search feature

I know it is probably too far for U to travel to Houston for the Spring Fling, but I want to make sure that everybody knows, that U are more than welcome to join us--no matter where U are from!

Hey StevenK--any chance U or any of the Austin people might make the trip?

If anybody does want to come down to H-town and U want help with directions or accomidations or whatever--just hollar!

Steven,
Hopefully you got my email saying Hello as well,and I signed up for the local board....I figured I missed yesterday when I saw the First Sunday every month....only day I had this past week to work on the RS....when I bought it the previous owner put a 98 cent maaco paint job ontop of the black and white DPS colors(and they didn't even sand )...so I wet sanded,and wet sanded,and wet sanded somemore,and at least got black primer on it....now I gotta pick a color....lol....but its presentable....next tasks may be a fuel pump,and an exhaust...I still have dual cats and original manifolds,but the bone heads put a strait pipe in place of the muffler and I can't stand it ..lol......everything else is original on the car,it just needs a little upgrading......and to answer your original question,I'm willing to help out all I can with your LS1 swap....I haven't put one in a thirdgen yet,but am very familiar with these engines,and this is my goal....we did however put an LS1/6speed combo in a B-Body....and I think that was more involved than our thirdgens.......
