That was strange, talking like an oldy with a new PH name, welcome Gulf LS3 wink Is this the last in your LS series and how is your paint job looking, you must have crossed out the 7 and now the 2?...

As regard the Oz thing I was looking at this nearly a couple of years ago and it did look quite possible. Someone of the PH Oz forum said that at the time he was aware of about 12 cars already out there. It is just a case of getting a local inspector to do a reduced IVA etc, at least I hope it is that simple.

Gluf-LS3 - Though i have enjoyed your technical contributions in the past , i now grow weary of the constant and blatant advertizerments that you feel you should post.
Please put your keyboard down and carry on with my engine conversion ........... at very competitive rates with decent coffee and occasional biscuits and mince pies.

LS, no way. I have just invested all my spare cash (£17.05) in a David Vizard small block chevy on a budget book wink

Doh, do you know how much more torque I could have got for the £12.05 I could have saved! Although is yours the 2009 edition?

Snow strike..what's that then?

Today our workshop reached the highest temp it's been since we moved in...... 4.5*C.
Paul said it was 5 but I think he needs his eyes testing.

Don't you have insulation and heating in you part of the world? I lived over 10 years in the UK some time back and never froze. Also went through the long cold period in the early 60's despite freezing water pipes and such like. True it's not a time now to take an Ultima out on the roads these days... (wonder how you could get it even out of a garage with the snow you have now) yes

Im afraid we are having a bit of a chilly spell here.. It was -18 yes minus eighteen degrees the other night up the road in woodford and in congleton on friday during the day -10... Its been so cold the farmers are putting a petrol/diesel mix in the tractors as diesel has been freezing..

oooo la la the joys of not living in the south anymore... Ay least you other guys have had the snow cleared... some silly pratt at our council sold all the grit last year as he was tired of stock pileing it????idea
