Is 5.3 swap to much money and work?

[trac209]

Many guys who have gone the LS route toute mileage as the best advantage and really if you ask me that’s where the advantage ends,even then it’s marginal when you can buy a stand alone Efi and get in that range easy. Friend of a friend has a 383 making an easy 550hp with a 5 spd and a efi and he gets 20 plus mpg all day long. To each there own,personally I find the LS swap the world fad to be getting out of hand.

That is pretty solid evidence right there, I'm gonna sell my LM7 tomorrow.

Nobody is trying to convince you of anything,what I’m saying is the LS isn’t something everyone wants or needs. Seen enough LS swaps to know they are the real deal when you want to build a junkyard engine with a eBay turbo and click off some 9 second et. Not everyone cares about that though. And an Sbc can do it all day long as well if you’re willing to build it.

You know I'm always the last one on a bus, but I still want on. I'll take the LM7 off your hands, dirt cheap that is cause its overdone, and let you get back to your roots. Just being a smart a.. don't mind me
