Re: Ls swap

There is an LS swap section for this kind of stuff.

Some will hate on the 4.8/5.3 and say why not go 6.0 blah blah blah. I don't get that. The 6.0 is not worth the price premium in my opinion.

You're going to have to make decisions on what exactly you want to do with the ls engine. There are a million cam options for LS engines and they take VERY well to cam swaps. There are lumpy sounding cams available that give you the sound you want but are still friendly to stock low rpm torque converters if that is what you are interested in.

As for wiring... I bought a universal Painless wiring harness. If I had it to do over again I would buy an American Autowire truck specific harness. It would be worth the extra money for the ease IMO.

With thr steering column only buy the good ones. Rebuilt OEM, modifiedvan tilt, Ididit, Flaming River. The rest are cheap chinese junk that no one should be using.
