Overheard during ones pilgrimage to LS.

First swap
"OMG this is so confusing, what parts do I need, where can I buy them, is this price good? How many miles, how much horsepower, wiring, wiring, WIRING?! TUning, tuners, SD, transmissions...waht?"
...
"Engine went in easy, wiring wasn't too bad, just gotta take your time. Makes really good power stock. Wow I get 19mpg? Starts every time"

Second Swap
"I wanna go with a bigger engine than last time. I'm thinking about a 6speed. 400hp isn't enough, I'm thinking FI. Cams, SD, PTVC, AFM DOD ASPCA!@@@>!!?"
"Its not hard, weekend job. Naw, wiring is just plug and play. I'm buying HP Tuners.

I hated those things...I swapped em out for smaller chrome ones I got from my father in law. I want to get the sport mirrors for it though

so a little update, i went and checked on the truck today and the guy hasn't pulled the motor yet, i told him id pull the motor and tranny out for a 100 off the asking price of 400, he wasn't a fan of the idea...i tried to make a steal even better but didnt work out...but i do infact still have dibs on the truck!!!

Re: the addiction....next Ls swap

if i can find one, they are kinda tough to find around here, i know I'm going with a 6.0 or 8.1, not messing with the 4l60 again, got that in my truck and had to get it rebuilt, just seeing whats out there now
