How many LUVs do you think are around Vancouver and Portland? i see them once in a while, and i get excited when i do, so that tells you i dont see them often. The only ones i see around my area is a white one with no tail gate, and a red 4x4 in some guys driveway that looks like it doesnt run.

I've seen several. A baby blue one in the Albertsons parking lot, a forest green one near Evergreen high school with a small block in it (years ago) white Mikado in a driveway, yellow one, black 4x4 out near battleground.

I love seeing them. Ha. I yell at my wife "look a luv!"

You are swapping a v6 into your luv right?

Spokane has the most members for any one city.

Washington state is second to California for LUVTruck.com members.

Well I wouldn't mind joining, you youngsters, whenever I get my Luv up and running. That probably won't happen in the near future though.

Luv venture I can't wait to see your truck done, it's so cool that your the original owner! If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

yup, the 4.3L v6 from a s10 blazer, its basically a 6 cylinder version of the 350, often called a 3/4 350.
i like to drift and the 1.8 just didnt have the torque to get it sideways unless it was wet out.

That's awesome that a nother luv owner js into drifting! I want to fo a swap for a v6 from an old Buick, but I don't have hardly any experience with that stuff so I doubt it will happen.

there is a diagram on this site that shows what the mounts you need to drop the buick v6 in look like. its been done a good few times. if you found an aluminum block 231 (3. v6 it would be an animal

My plan is to wait till I have a job and save for a beat up GM car or truck with a v6 and 5 sp tranny, drift the car all day and destroy it, pull the engine, scrap the car and go on with the build.
