I spotted the orange and white plates; do you have any issues with dragging a car across 50th avenue? Do you have to do an out-of-Province inspection? I know that Lloyd has some special provisions, like elimination of PST, but I don't know how it works with cars. My question also applies with dragging cars westward across 50th.


If I were to do an engine swap, I might be inclined to use an old Rocket, just for nostalgia. Another attractive option is to find a wasted '99 Silverado and use the engine, trans, computer, etc to go LS. Even the 4.8 would stomp on a 305.
6.0L LS from an Express van. It's 345HP and less BS to tune out of the computer. That's my plan for my '71 Skylark. The original Skylark driveline, Buick 350 with TH350 trans, is going into a Model A station wagon.
