Re: ls swap
Put LS swap in the search motor and click 67-72 chevytrucks instead of google. LOTS of info on here!

Re: ls swap
I am doing an LS3 Hot cam crate motor for my 68 C10 and it is 480 stock! Comes with a 2 year 50,000 mile warranty. Motor was about 6800 plus 1500 for computer and then you have to buy a front accesory drive. I chose to go with Concept one and it is about 2000. But you could pick up a complete motor and computer with wiring harness from a junk yard for about 6000 depending on the miles.

Re: ls swap
There is someone on this forum with a JY motor running drag races and it has a turbo on it....let me find him......
The thing is, if you spend $500 on a JY motor and run the crap out of it, and it blows....then you go get another $500 motor and do it again....
