Truth is that an LS swap costs about the same as building a BBC, turn-key for turn-key.

The LS with a 4L80E will have overdrive, and the BBC will have MAYBE 50 - 75 more ft/lbs of torque. MAYBE.

I researched it and posted what I found to help people make an informed decision.
if it doesnt need machine work i dont do it, not on a stock rebuild, and i have an uncle that does my head work dirt cheap so yeah, about $800 for those of us who dont like to waste money and think they are better than others for doing so........oh, and i like how you used hillbilly in the pejorative sense, must be lonely up there in that ivory tower!

and a 4l80e bolts right up to a big block too
