The LS1 is a FAR better motor than the LT1 in every aspect. No reason it wont work well in a truck. If Iwould have had the money and the time to have it wired up I would have done just that.

I have seen complete engine/tranny setups go for 3k-4k with wiring harnes and PCM and all.
Whoa Whoa Whoa Firechicken boy! Im not baggin on LS1's on any regard (Id take one over an LT1 anyday)

I just meant that it would be more practical for him to bolt in a LT1 than an LS1. They are cheaper and have more Lowend than the LS1's wich would do wonders for an old heavy truck.

The whole reason I picked it anyhow was because of the money aspect. They make good power thats fuel injected for pretty cheap if you can find a good one out of a junkyard. And they are pretty trick to boot, not as trick as an LS1, but its cheaper. Tradeoffs I guess
