new guy needing an opinion on drivetrain choice.

[BR3W CITY]

I think the fact that we now have a whole section devoted to LS transplants gives you a pretty good idea which way the "tide" has gone so to speak. There are very few cases in which I won't recommend an LS motor to somone, even if carb'd.

Going back to diesel would be sweet as well (check the section for that), but may not fit what you want to do with the truck.
