Re: Is 5.3 swap to much money and work?

There is no right or wrong answer here. I was torn with making the same decision. It all depends on what you plan to do with your truck and if going LS makes sense for your use. You could justify it either way. The bottom line is what YOU want to do.

I have a friend with a 64 Chevelle who was kicking around the idea of doing a LS swap. In the end he said it just didn't make sense for him. His car has an older Edelbrock crate engine, but it's dialed in so nice and runs great. Why would he want to change it? His case may not be like others, since his engine is running so strong it doesn't make sense.

Good luck with your decision.
