I do. I would just rather start with an LS in a buggy. The 22re is solid and runs well. Too much factory metal in the way if I drop an LS in and want to link the front

That's Mr Asshole to you
So I was talking to a co worker and he has a 5.3 sitting in his garage that had 78K miles on it when pulled. The project he was going to put it in is now gone so he wants to move the motor. The ECU is already tuned and is stand alone so its just needs to be dropped in. $1200
You know you want it.

Id rather 3 link the front before doing a motor swap. I can easily put a 3.4 in now that the A340 will be going in. I have the bell housing and Torque converter already. Just need a Flywheel and some boost :) That is why the Turbo Pane is just a possibility right now. I have all the parts for it minus the Got Propane kit. We will have to see. Since the OEM TC mounts on the frame will be going away along with the TC skid, the 3 Link will come a lot sooner than I originally anticipated. That was the biggest reason I haven't linked the front because it would have been a ton of work re-fabbing all of the mounts and Trans tunnel.

Managed to get a little time in the garage this afternoon after my chores were done LOL.

Chopped on my sliders a little. I need to finish grinding and refit the kickout.

Started disassembling the interior

I drained the A340 and installed the new solenoids. Shift kit is next on the list to install.
