Re: Not sure what I should do with the old girl.
Having done a few swaps, I can say I really like them.
HOWEVER, if your current drivetrain runs good, doesn't have bunch of leaks/drips, etc. then I don't know that I would swap it out.
Remember, this was a daily driver to someone else 30+ years ago.
Fortunately, there's no hurry. Drive it like it is for a while till you make up your mind.
LS swaps take a little longer than you would think and the costs add up for all the little things.
(Btw, my K/5 with 4" lift, 35's, and a 6.0 LQ9 only gets about 10.5 mpgs...not much better than a SBC...)
Good luck! Keep up with the pics, please!
