ls2 or ls3
I am looking at crate engines for my c10, Iv'e decied I want a aluminum block ls engine. I have found 2 that I like but the price is about $3000 different by the time I by all the ingniton contols. I dont really plan on taking the truck to the strip alot and I dont plan on taking it on long drives. It will be just something fun to cruise around on the street and take to the strip every now and then, it wont get driven in the winter, late fall and early spring and rarely in the rain. In the near future I thought about bring the hp up to about 550hp with a centrifical super charger. I've not really decided on the trans either it will either be a th-350 or a 700r4. I realize that these 2 engine and trans combo's are completely diffrent but let me know what you guys think here's the stats of the engines:

Other features include light weight flat-top pistons with a 10.9:1 compression, powdered-metal rods, and a nodular iron crankshaft. The LS6-style cylinder heads are truly high performance pieces that deliver large amounts of air to the awaiting engine.
