Truck/ Engine decisions decisions- LT1 vs LS

[GMR-PERFORMANCE]

My old LS engine 1/6 with a truck intake made 510 at the crank with some very basic stuff and very cheap.. my new 6.2 that was turned into a 413 made 620 at the crank.. so really in the end the little cheap ls base engine was a rocket for what I paid and had in it. I was running the Mefi ECM setup. RWHP with the lS 1/6 was 380 through a Albins 5 speed 934 cv and 35 inch Goodyear MT's with the stroker power went up less than 80 hp.. In my opinion I wasted a huge amount of money.

If you really gotta have a bigger LS engine go find a used 6.2 ... my buddy just bought 4 of them and he paid 2500 each , from a wrecking yard in CA..

I you need to replace cam and lifters and remove the VD system other than that you can get yourself a 3 wire ECM system and have a stout engine for low buck...
