I just couldn't say No
Last March I was at the Portland OR. swap meet and there was a 1990 LT5 motor there. Well like every body else who knows what an LT5 is, I low-balled him and left him my number. Monday, the guy called me and asked if I still wanted the motor and I just couldn't say no... here are some pic of my new LT5.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet. I sent my wife an email with a picture of the LT5 coffee table and she said "Hell No" - she's putting her foot down on that idea. So, I guess I'm going to get to learn how to build a 368. Thanks to Eric Jackson for helping me decypher the the VIN number to check that its is not stolen. |

Re: I just couldn't say No
Great eye candy for a garage or shop, got a few in my garage and gives me a nice feel good everytime I go in the garage.

Re: I just couldn't say No
Nice find Eric, be a good one to build up while still being able to drive your car.

Re: I just couldn't say No
Great find Eric. I see it didn't take you long to get your anniversary poster up. Mine's still rolled up with the other one.

Re: I just couldn't say No
Hi Eric,
Nice find. Wow, I see you aren't one to let grass grow under your feet! Like Hammer said, but I see that you not only have the anniversary poster framed, but also the "Lightning and Thunder" poster too. Good job! My dad and I enjoyed visiting with you at the Gathering. You'll have to send me some pics of the "Black Beast" in the background - I'd love to see some. Take care. Jeff |

Re: I just couldn't say No
Is that the proper way to pull the motor?

Didn't know the plenum could handle the weight.
Now I know.
