Since I cant 100% decide on the motor yet I want to get the chassis done
Then possible test fit both engine options I have.
Both engines have there +&-
The buick 455 is a ready to drop in Big Block which is cool AF I think.
The LS is a proven "modern" engine that provides a lot of reliability due to its design.
However I would carb the LS simply because I have the parts.
For right now the BBB is the cheaper option for me since I dont need any additional parts, as I would need them for the LS ( it adds up).

If you are looking for a nudge towards the Big Block Buick I'll give you one. I think it would be neat, something different. Although there probably are a few of these trucks with Buick engines it's likely that it's not many. On the other hand literally thousands of lonely small blocks & six cylinders have been cast aside to put in another LS. Yawn yawn
So go ahead drop that big bad Buick in there
