Re: 87 chevy ls swap

what are your goals/plans for the trucks future?

When I did mine, I was going for the economy/cheap route. I got a 4.8\4l60e for about $1200.00 total, all accessories,PCM and harness. I get about +/-300HP at the crank. that is about double what the tired 350 I had was putting out, I also average 17MPG mixed, have gotten 20.5 on a long highway trip. I have no complaints at all.

Im not a hot rod type of guy, no offence to those that are, I had those when I was younger and I burned through alot of gas and money. I have just moved away from that although I do like to see and hear some of those BA trucks with the BB and fatties out back. Good luck!

BTW I got my motor from LKQ here in Hutchins Texas, just FYI.
