Wow. Just went thru the entire build. Very impressive!

Where did you get the gauges. Autometer?

Did you do the work?

I would love to have a gauge panel just like that!

I've got a similar motor to you, what are you not liking with the current set up, any fuel economy numbers would help. I'll figure it out next year, but don't face the driving you do, shorter distances, and less shows. Which LS would you choose? Maybe a 6 spd and a fuel injection would help. Love this ride.

98crewcab · 11-25-2011, 01:31 PM

got my vote bubba, I drive back and fourth to work on sunrise and always on the lookout to see this thing in person. B-E-A-utiful truck bro. get to start on my 67 next week. been way to busy with every one elses crap....lol

**67cheby** · 11-25-2011, 01:42 PM

dont get me wrong i do love the LS motors, but i also love the motor looking more original, both you and AL have newer motors and how you both have them done looks killer and "right" in the engine compartment.....why dont you guys consider just adding fuel injection so you can keep the "look" of your motors ?

Thats a thought right there mike being that I know exactly what is done to my engine....

**superflysteiny** · 11-25-2011, 04:28 PM

Here is my thought and my issue. The ls is a far superior motor compared to the old small block. My motor gets like 12 miles to the gallon. You fix an oil leak and 5000 miles later its leaking again. You can get 20 mile to a gallon with an ls and they are bullet proof. You can through boost at them with stock internals and they stay together. Don't get me wrong I love the way my motor looks but if you are going to drive the hell out of it the ls is the way to go.
