    Im glad to see you going with a 4l60e. Too many people always want to go with the 4l80 and like they making big power. Thanks for being honest. Stock driveshaft, stock rear end. Drivability for highway and street driving. Everything doesn’t have to be a race car. Bit by bit fellas

    Ok. These are the builds I like to see, not just the 100k rotisserie builds that will never see a highway. I want to see nice, clean daily drivers that you can go to work in, or go cruising the spot or take the All American Road Trip in. Grassroots motorsports at it's finest. Well done, sir. Well done.

I’m first going to ID the block VIN and year for sure- then go from there. The two lines (with silver locked ends and black braided runs) on the left side of the truck intake are the fuel supply and return, correct?
