    ok so earlier today someone posted a thread about your first car. seems simple enough. but then this makes me realize that i would love to go drive that camaro again but havent finished putting it back together yet... and then i realize that i am not ENTIRELY positive i want to use that tpi 350 i have almost finished building... and then a thread about megasquirt makes me think ... hmmmm do i REALLY want to spend time working on that tuning?

    i think to myself.... maybe i should ask the grm'rs what they think i should do. ... only to see another thread about putting an lsx into an astro. searching my soul i know the answer i will get.

    7 hours later i have just bid on a ls1 motor on ebay with a wiring harness and computer.

    curse you for enabling me!

    So the 5.7 variant of the LSx? What did it come out of? This is exciting!

    Either a Corvette, Fbody or a GTO.

    Funny how that works sometimes. I blame you all for finally pulling the trigger on tuning for my ms3.

    We're just getting going - you'll need a tube bender and welder, followed by lathe, slip roll and e-wheel. Oh, and alcohol, lots of alcohol.

    No matter what idea you come up with, someone on this board will think it's a great idea.

    Enabling is just another way of bringing stupid ideas from the bar to the workshop!

    So, how is the towing capacity of that LSx powered Astro? Fuel mileage?

    Since you've come this far you might as well swap in a T-56 6-speed at the same time. Much easier to do it now than later.
