Re: its engine selection time
5K for an LS swap is easy, though you aren't going to buy a fully dressed crate motor at that price.
You'd be buying an under 100K mile engine & transmission with all the accessories, a new wiring harness & whatever else you needed for your install.
I bet you come in well under 5K, and under 100,000 miles is still "new" for an LS motor, but I understand some folks want to open the crate themselves.
I put one in my '57 and while I've had complaints about my install (hey, gotta learn somehow) I love the engine. Had zero issues with it or with the EFI, plenty of power for an I-beam front end & it starts and runs perfectly every time. 4.8 liter LS.
