Re: LS swap ?

The car motor/trans combo's are more expensive and you may have to pay more up there. Look for a 4.8, 5.3, or even 6.0 out of a truck or SUV...they make the near the same or more hp. Trans will be a 4L60-e, 4L60eHD, or 4L65e (4L70e if its from a TBSS or VMax truck). I don't think I'd go TPI w/LSx solutions the available.
