Re: Ls swap opinion

When I did my 1972 4 X 4 Jimmy the camshaft lobes got ruined on my stock 350. After pricing out crate motors etc and I had hot start issues I purchased a 5 mile 2005 5.3 from spaulding auto for about $2500 delivered. With that being said I ended up $10,000 into the swap. Do I have any regrets, hell NO!

Going from about 200 horse power to 325 wasn't bad either. Could sit for months and start at the turn of the key. Cruise for hours while getting 15-20 MPG. I had planned on doing an LS swap on my new to me 1972 two wheel drive but I have rust issues to deal with first (or selling).
