Gen III swap ?

Considering the swap on my 74 but was curious to see if the conversion has been fine tuned? It seems many people have done it but I'm just curious to see if it's worth it. Thanks

Re: Gen III swap ?

Well worth it. No doubt about it. I am a LS guy now and will probably never build a gen 1 small block again. Maybe a big block.

Re: Gen III swap ?

Lots of people are doing ls swaps. I never will, as i will eventually do a 4 or 6bt swap. But lots of info on here. Many people get easy 20mpg's and very good drivability.
