    I bought a used one for $70.00 and have a message into Late Model Throttle to schedule an appointment.  The chevy life isn't too bad!

    ^This.

    I get Speedway, Summit, etc catalogs in the mail. Looking at the prices of aftermarket engine components will make you cry. Stroker cranks, cams, rods, pistons, heads.... You could build a 450hp engine with mountains of torque for the price of a used s52...

      My kustom cam was $300.  Heads were $3600 though.  It gets expensive when you start getting into the valve train.

                Got a new driver's side valve cover off of the 2010-2013 LS motors. Part number:12642655.  It has an updated breather design and hopefully won't suck as much oil through the vacuum pump system.

                Also did an oil and filter change. NAPA Gold Filter and Valvoline 10w-30 conventional.

                      A window down, music up day in the Black Pearl lead to the front left speaker blowing.  I'd amassed parts to ad 12awg speaker wire and ditch the amalgamation of smaller wire and crimp connectors.

                      Crimped and soldered the connectors. 

                      After the Alpine Type S 5.25 speakers were installed and all was wired back up I "tuned" the amps best I could.  The reggae jams are alive once again!

                                  Finally got the brakes sorted out!  

                                  Also installed this 4/0 ground cable I made.

                                  Now on to driving it as much as possible prior to the snow!

                                      I did!  Forgot about posting that.  Milo approved of the work.

                                          You got another CATuned Axle?
                                          I was just reading someone on R3V complaining that they don't have them anymore and the guy had his break.

                                          ...
