All depends on what YOU want.


I didn't want a computer. Most complicated electrical thing in my truck (outside of the radio) is the module in the HEI.

So I went with a Vortec crate motor. Get ok mileage (12-13) if I'm nice to it, good power, and no freaking computer.

And I definitely did not want a junkyard engine out of some wreck going into my truck without being rebuilt, so the cost savings of a used LS wasn't going to happen for me anyways.

My truck is a toy, weekend cruiser, occasional driver. I figure I will put about 5000 miles a year on it max. If I was building something to drive every day, I would definitely consider an LS for that.
