Re: LS engine for 72 4x4 shortbed?
Welcome aboard from Washington State!

Yep... the LS based engine are the cats ass nowadays. I have yet to swap one in one of these old rigs. But it is sooooooo tempting. One of these days.

I wish I had more info to offer, but I am still old school first gen SBC's.

This link: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...play.php?f=206 will take you to a sub forum in the Engine and Drivetrain Forum that is all about the LS based engines.

Good luck and looking forward to the pics!
