    99 Tahoe teardown and rebuild begins today...

    Well got the motor and trans out yesterday. Have to pull the one from the donor vehicle this morning install a new timing chain, water pump and all new gaskets. There's so much cosmetic stuff I need to attend to but I guess getting it back on the road is the important step.

    Well stay tuned. Because I'm going to knock out the majority of it this week. I'm still looking for a lowering kit and a decent cam/lifters and I'm missing a few odds and ends but it will get done.
