LS engine for 72 4x4 shortbed?

[oldertruckfan]

my .02 is to keep the small block that's in it. I agree the LS motors are cool, but I don't see any more horses than you could get from a well built 350. I guess it all depends on how you go about it, but i'll probably get more horsepower than I'll need from my 350 after its all done. It's sitting in a 3/4 ton truck, which is quite a bit heavier, but will make all the horsepower it needs to make the rubber go round and round

The new LS engines can make the same power for way cheaper from what I have read.
