If I had not had the parts for the old engine I would go LS all the way, and be happy to take on the big block challangers in the process... The 500 CI LS engines are killers , having ridden in cars with them and driven them, you would swear that it was a 700 + CI BB under the hood.
I plan on selling my old short block KB 742 as I am going to build a new 500+ CI LS motor once the truck project is done. the new truck HA HA a 59 EL will be the vehicle of choice... Down and dirty no frills drag car with a LS .....
