I’m basically trying to build a poor man iron block LS2 engine. The short block is from a Chevy Silverado 2500

I haven’t decided on the cylinder heads yet. Once I do I will tear this down and talk to the machinist for cleaning and honing. Assembly is on me.

This will go with an Aisin AR5 manual transmission.

The rest is pretty much a LSE90.com swap. It’ll be a long time from now since I’m just collecting parts and the car is running great.

Love it. I had an LS-swapped FC RX-7 project. Fun times.

I bought a $200 pair of folding loading ramps at Tractor Supply this morning, to bring home this year's new-to-us $150 beater lawn tractor in the Mighty Freightliner:



Also bought a new $50 U1 300 CCA lawn tractor battery, because I have yet to buy a beater lawn tractor with a good battery:

The Marine Corps flag I fly is getting kinda ratty, so replacing it. Wish the US flag manufacturers made this in the 3x2 size so that I didn't have to get it from a Chinese vendor.

I was working on the car last night and noticed that I didn't have or am missing an 18mm 12pt deep socket. So I ordered a Sunex one off Amazon.
I have enough tool sets and whatnot, that at this point, I just order individual pieces when I come across something I'm missing or that would make my life easier.

Had to get a new deep socket myself (Sunex 19mm thin wall) for my new wheels. The wall is to thick on my rim protector set and won't fit them.

Bought some giant Costco-grade tubes of Voltaren for the plantar fasciitis that’s been bothering me for close to 3 months. Actually works well and better for my stomach than Aleve or Ibuprofen. But I also got myself to the podiatrist who put me into some Pure Stride OTC orthotics, gave me some stretches to do and hit me with a triamcinolone acetonide injection. A week later, I’m doing much better.
