Re: HELP! I'm having second thoughts on current set up.

Incredible truck you have! I lean toward doing a very stock, factory looking LS swap and leaving everything else alone.

This. And when you tire of that, add a turbo. And when you tire of that, twin turbos. It's a disease, man.

Like others have said, it's your truck and do what makes you the most happy. However, if that was my truck. I would leave it completely original stock. I absolutely love the stock look of those steppers. And by the way, beautiful truck!

Re: HELP! I'm having second thoughts on current set up.

You gotta ditch that lame six and 3ott. Then post your air cleaner on the parts board for 25 bucks! As for what you replace it with that's not really important. No need to thank me for the advice, I just want me, I mean you to be happy!Name:  image.jpg

You've already lowered it. Might as well continue on. Drop it more, add ls motor, some bright paint and then get a tribal arm band tattoo. Big pimpin

Very nice truck! I have had my share of 6/3ott and honestly never enjoyed any of them, but thats just me. Ls swap is cool but with the stock look of yours I would build a 383/th350 or 200od and dress it up as a 327 with stock air cleaner etc. Just my opinion
