Re: Reliability of LS conversions

Fl71c10- you pretty much said it yourself. The LS engine family is more reliable than the older stuff. It eliminates most of the tinkering. And certainly the rest of the trucks condition becomes the next weakest link for wear.
Some people seem to think "set it and forget it" means you don't have to maintain it. Keep up with maintenance and most anything will last a LONG time. I prefer not to mess with timing and carb adjustments and worn distributor problems.
