Are the typical upkeep replacement parts for an ls more expensive than typical gen 1 parts.
I guess I could start comparing them from a online parts store, but I wondered if anyone had a general idea.
I mean I know what typically needs to be replaced or goes out on a gen 1 and the cost to replace them, but what about an ls?
Also, I don't have to take my truck to a mechanic, I can do the repairs myself. What about an ls?

I guess that means what you mean by upkeep parts? Your typical gaskets are more expensive but they rarely leak, and are all reusable.

Bottom line, over time a well cared for ls will cost you a lot less in upkeep than a gen 1 small block would. Just because the reliability is so much higher. Any given repair might be more expensive though.
