6.0 LS or build a 406?
Just thinking about the direction I want to head. I've got a 400 sitting in the barn that I had planned to build up for my truck, but I'm wondering about going with an LS motor. I'm approaching this from a practical perspective. I want to enjoy driving my truck. There isn't an unlimited bank account in my house so I have to make the most out of my $ spent.
I like the idea of the modern engine from a practical stand point. They'll make more power and burn less fuel than a traditional sbc and that means getting to enjoy driving the truck more. But LS swaps are getting dime a dozen anymore (no offence to those that have them) so the wow factor is diminishing. But I like the sbc from a traditional standpoint. It's what they came with from the factory, so at the first glance it could look kinda stock. I'm not sure how many more years the aftermarket will cater to the sbc. There not in production anymore so now might be the best opportunity to buy new high performance parts. Just wondering what others have thought about this subject.
