Funny to see this thread. With my 69 I am at the point that it's time to replace the wore out 350. I have considered a LS swap and did do the research however with what I have to change and price another 350 will be going back in. I will say what has already been said it does depend on what you want from your truck.

I can say personally I like the good ole sbc. I have seen many LS swapped trucks and only a handful have I really liked as they were done looking more like the engine that was in it originally.
