Detailed parts and Cost for LS Conversion
 
I'd love to see a spreadsheet or detailed account of the parts needed to perform a full LS conversion for a '72 vintage 2wd truck. I'm typically guilty of under-estimating true project costs and would love the guidance from someone experienced in the swap/conversion. Do's and Don't would also be appreciated.

Did you try the search feature? - it's been covered a few times.

This might help.

This is mine so far. I'm basically done. It's all extras at this point.

Trucks aren't investments, they are tools, or toys. Owners choice.

Yea, why would you want to make your truck start, idle, and drive better, be more fuel efficient, and more powerful.....it might make it worth less when you sell it at Barrett Jackson never.
