I have the opportunity to pick one up from a buddy of mine. I know I just bought a 454 vortec roller motor for my truck, but i could get my money back easy on that if i have to. The thought of a LS with those L92 heads and fuel injection would just plain be bada*s.. I know the motor would work easy.
What bothers me is the trans!!! Is this possible??

are there kits out there for this swap with a transfer case as old as mine (85)???

I was putting a 700R4 behind my 454. Dont want to use that for an LS, I would rather use the factory 2500 trans that goes with the motor!!(better then a 700r)

please, any and all info would be appreciated, pics to!!!
