LS1 Swap 79 Chevy K20 - I have other build threads on my trucks, the link is in my sig. I wanted to make a dedicated thread for the LS swap portion of this build, and show how I'm handling it on this particular project. I would still encourage anyone getting ready to do a swap to browse through the great builds in this section. Here goes.
