New To Texas!!
 
Just recently moved to Texas from Ohio, Better job oppurtunitys and better place to raise my son.

I have a 2000 LS with 192,000 miles, was a member about 2 years ago certain life events set me back. At around 150,000 miles the infinite lower intake blow out, and over heat, etc... Did a full rebuild from block up with upgraded parts motor still gets 30 mpg hwy :congrats: Looking to do a full overall from tires up in the upcoming weeks.

1. Complete bushing, joint, mounts replacement
2. Full Suspension over hual
3. Weather stripping and Molding
4. Leather interior
5. Another more thorough run through of the whole motor
6. Upgraded tranny and over haul
7. Custom Aluminum radiator

Finally in a good spot with a good allowance to finally see this through, try a document the whole thing, wanna have it done by spring time.

Well i now have no excuse, on the way to work couple weeks ago a loud noise started coming from the block. Immediately shut it off and towed home, it is still startable some hopefully not to much damage inside the block. So i think i will just buy a engine stand and start rebuild from the block up and piece it back together over the next year.
