Hewfil1 - I will definitely be verifying whether it is a 5.3 or 6.0 once I get it pulled.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

Nothing done on the project for a couple of reasons: 1.) We got done with my son's Football season (made it to the second round of play offs this year) and then rolled right into Basketball. 2.) My plan was to shorten the Tahoe frame and put the Jimmy body on it but there is a slight chance the frame got tweaked in the wreck. I talked to a friend that does body work and he said he may be able to straighten it. So my dilemma is whether I should continue with the body swap or or just re-power it. Your thoughts?
