Swap or not??
Well I have been thinking about putting a rearend out of a 88-98 fs truck for the extra width because it drives me crazy the way the rear end is so much narrower that the front on these trucks. Well I go to my dad's shop today and there is a white stepside sitting out front and I asked what was wrong with it and he said needs an engine and the guy is selling it to a junk yard. I was like I want the rear end call him and find out how much they are giving him. So he did and I am now the proud owner of a 1992 cheyenne with a 5 speed and a v6 with a hole in the oil pan for $250.00!!
  So do I pull the v6 out and drop a hot v8 in it or part it and put the money toward my 5.3 or 6.0 (haven't decided yet) swap?

Put a junk yard engine in it and sell the truck to finance your LSX swap.

Re: Swap or not??
Not trying to turn this into a classified ad to but after giving it much thought I think I can make more money parting it out. I know that may sound crazy to some but I think there will be more money with less work. I am going to pull the tranny and while I have it in the air I am going to take all the bolts out of the bed and disconnect all the wiring so it can just be lifted off. As far as putting the rear end in my truck it has 3.08 gears (GU4) and I want at least 3.42 (GU6) if not 3.73(G80
). bigdnew if you would pm me I will give you my number and we can discuss what you want then I am going to put an ad in the classified on here and one on cl but since you spoke first you get first pick. (I hope I didn't cross any lines if so sorry mods  )
