I agree, if you can’t have fun while you do it then what’s the point.

120K mileage on an LS is actually considered low mileage.  You shouldn't have seen much wear.

So on your axle flip, you didn't have to notch the frame.

I guess that at some year/point GM changed the clearance?

I have a '80 that I'm considering doing that to, but have only seen where they notch the frame.

No need to notch, I have a lot of clearance with the bumpstop brackets removed.

You are right, their wasn’t much wear but I wanted to do what I could with my budget. I wanted to visually see everything for myself. I would have been pissed if I put it all in and found out after it’s all done that I had a spun main bearing, etc.

I have been at a stand still waiting on my converter to attach the tranny to the motor. I ordered a 3K stall Circle D. It should do nicely with my upgrades and any future mods I do down the road. Only a few more key pieces and I will be done.  ;D
