The weather&#8217;s been sunny most of the past week, and then the skies opened up and it deluged all weekend. However, for a few hours today the sun came out, so I decided &#8220;screw it!&#8221; and scooted on over to Pleasanton for the Good Guys car show. Gotta say, very glad I went.<\/p>\n<p>I managed to meet up with a few parts vendors and get hands-on with stuff for the MogRod, so now I know which style of gauges I&#8217;m going to be getting. Also found some local sources for chroming and other goodies.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as the weather has thoroughly soaked the grass and scared away a lot of the attendees, there weren&#8217;t that many cars on display. The real lookers were, as usual, indoors, so I snapped a few photos of them to share.<\/p>\n<p>The real gem of the day, though, was found when I walked through the parts corral. Chevrolet Performance had a display booth \/ truck set up with a few vehicles and motors on display. A green &#8216;hot rod&#8217; caught my eye, and I noticed that the motor seemed pretty small compared to all the LS blocks littered about. I read the plaque and was surprised to find that the &#8216;repro rod&#8217; was running a turbo&#8217;d 2.0L Ecotec block&#8230; so of course I snapped up a bunch of reference photos of the intake and such.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
