Re: Best All Around Motor?

It is completely your call there C10. It is what you feel comfortable with. I understand you apprehensiveness, but just think about it, price it out. Even with a crate engine and such, issues are always possible. I am waiting on $ for the exhaust but when that is done, I believe I will be much better off. My 350/400 was real tired when I got started, ran but was REAL tired. I have ran my truck with the LS in there and it runs massively better than the 350, better throttle response and MUST get better than the 8-9 MPG I was getting. I must admit right now it is VERY loud without the exhaust but it does give me the chance to pi$$ off the neighbors some. The only REAL issue I see is the AC, which i havent even thought of til I get it moving on a daily basis.
