Finally Starting a build thread, Started off with my 1984 Trans Am. Bought it off my parents in 2009 with 58,280ish miles on it the week before my senior prom at the age of 18. Bone stock LG4 with T5 drove it all summer back and forth to work and girlfriends house, even went drag racing at Island at the F-body vs Mustang night. Ran a pathetic 17second flat 1/4 mile. Week after that i started college, where the car sat parked for 4 and a half years because of a blown head gasket. In my down time at college i spent a lot of long nights drooling over LSX swaps on here, LS1tech, and thirdgen. Finally bit the bullet probably 6 months ago and bought a 5.3 from a 2003 Express Van. Halloween night i moved the car for the first time in 4.5 years to a rented garage to start the swap. Thats the story of my car. This is my first engine build, so be gentle and just looking for any help and advice from those who've done it before me. Heres some pics of the car when i first got it
