They'd be great for changing body bushings. Damn, that reminds me...

I have a friend that uses the same ones, and he explained that you get to see/work on the vehical at ride height. For those of us that have low ride heights these stands work great.

Yea, needed a way to get under it and work comfortably. Plus I hate jackstands.

I've been looking at the Dominator ECU for an upcoming project, I am eager to hear your impression of it.

Motor looks great sitting in place. .... For the last time? Lol what are the specs on this one? I think the Giggle factor has been turned up a few notches. You have to love Holley for their Ls stuff

Yeah, I'll report back. I've tuned lots with the stock ECU, cut my teeth on Megasquirt, and now I really like the software and capability of the Dominator. Looking forward to trying it out. Definitely a little more pricey than using the stock 0411 ECU. lol.

Yeah, they are on top of it. Probably not the last time. Another stock shortblock for now...gonna sneak up on the tune a little slower this year, while I'm planning what I want to build for a forged shortblock.

I like it. I have a Yank now, but Circle D is definitely on my radar...but the Yank works really well for me.

Re: Project Family Truckster: 2wd Conversion Turbo LSx Blazer Build
Not much new....balls deep in wiring. I could have had it up and running in a day or two, but I'm pretty anal about the planning and execution of the wiring. It will be super clean when done though. Also been splitting time with the blue truck project.

Thanks for the compliments.
