HI, my name is Aaron, I recently moved back to Pitt after being in NY for a number of years, my every day driver till recently was a 69 Riviera, with a .30 over 455 (so 462) converted to HEI, still has the auto TH400, 250k on the tranny 150k on the engine, the guy who had it before me put the 455, stock it had a 430, the 455 is a rebuilt 70 rivera engine, lowered compression to use unleaded gas, needs some work before I can drive it every day again. I have loved cars as far back as I can remember, especially trying to make them faster :-). I have a degree in Computer Science, and I graduated from Lincoln Tech Automotive school last year, and I want ot learn everything about making cars faster :-). Nice to meet everyone. ---

I can take some, honestly, she needs some major work right now, I have two 1/4 skins in my garage for her because the wheel wells are really rusted on the outside, I stripped the vinyl off the roof, and I have a few rust spots there, especially right up by the windshield, the A pillars have some nice holes in them, and the driver window regulator completely died on me. then I have a list of mechanical stuff as well that I have to do, lol, going to take a little time I think, so i’ve been driving my minivan…but…I have some ideas for the VG30E in my villager as well, if I can get to them… ---
