I know I love classic an I could be plenty happy and only have 1,500-2,000 into an overdrive trans and rebuilt motor and be on the road without putting the truck down for too long either.

However retrofitting a new motor to look carb and then installing the harness and relocating the tank to the rear there's a lot of stuff to change and my garage isn't that big I could get my dads shop to do it but it has me Leary to have someone else do the work. Even though they have a lot more LS swaps under their belt than I do.

Heard that LSX's run the smaller motors too but the coil packs are an eye sore as well as those cute little plastic covers so more and more stuff to change there.
