My 350 was getting worn out, With dual smog pumps it was a nightmare to work on & I still had to smog test at the time.

The old Burb doesnt owe me anything, I dont see how in the world me doing an engine swap is in the same league as buying an expensive hybrid $hit box??

I didn't mean to offend you.

What I was getting at, was when someone has a good running combo and asks for better mpg advice, and people say "Swap an LSX". That seems silly to me.

I understand if you are starting from scratch the LS is a killer engine and a great swap. But to tell someone to spend thousands to swap one to improve their milage is silly.
