your doing the same thing when you converting from carb to TBI or LSX swaps
so if you want TBI or an ls motor in you old truck go get a new truck? too much work??

is it because people are just lazy or just have something agains this model engine?
Lol... extremely well said.

I actually think the engine swap would be easier than anything else. I had my SBC out, and the 6.2 in and turning over in a single day. And I did it on my own. No help from friends, no extra set of hands. It took me a few days to figure out the not-starting issue on the diesel, but after I worked everything out, I've had no problems with it since then.
