Sorry nothing to say about the vortec timing, but just had to say it is GREAT to hear your son is working on his Eagle Rank!!

I have 2 sons (16 & 19), both Eagle Scouts and was a Scoutmaster for a couple years. Been Scouting for 13+ years but am currently stepping back and getting less involved (been comm. Chair the last 2 yrs.) I missed Summer camp this year for the first time in the last 7 or 8 yrs. I would not trade the time I have spent with my boys for anything in the world!!

Anyway, I parked my '69 in the basement garage in 2001 and let it set while I worked on Scouting. Best decision I ever made! Now I'm starting working on a '99 Suburban that I'm pulling the running gear out of to put in the 69. 5.7 FI Vortec & 4 speed auto, Pwr/heated Leather Buckets, CD, compass in mirror,....who knows how far I will go with it!!

Good Luck on his Eagle!! His Court of Honor will make you the PROUDEST FATHER in the world!!! Try not to cry.
