Default The swap is on!!! (BB that is)

Took the first step this weekend and pulled out my 350. No big deal. Borrowed my neighbors 4 ton lift and pulled it out the side. Didn't even remove the hood or rad/shroud. I sold the SB to a friend for $800 carb to pan, so now I have the cash to start ordering my pulleys and brackets+other stuff. I'd really like to get that Rad/fan setup Tom D. is talking about in that GP thread. We'll have to see how much cash is left over (I have a little stashed in the bottom of my toolbox too) ;) . I still need to beed blast my intake, had to switch to a low rise LS6, and swap in the ZZ502 cam. Lot's to do, but at least I'm moving forward. Here's a couple pics just because.

Thanks Fella's! I got the manifold from another Forum Member. His name was George, but I can't remember his user name. I posted a WTB in the sale section and he contacted me. How do you like my garage (spelled c-l-o-s-e-t)?? It's chaos, but with only 100 sqare feet, nothing can get TOO lost. I'll take some pics of the cam swap and install and post them soon. :cheers:
