I guess I need to build me an LS powered truck just once. Everybody says an LS engine cures everything from poor mileage to male pattern baldness. But crap, dealing with exhaust manifold clearance, drive by wire pedals, computer programming and high pressure fuel systems sure doesn't seem like the slam dunk swap everyone makes it out to be. Yes, I'm sure I could do the swap, but the hassle seems significant.
I am still bald, but my swap isn't up and running yet. Maybe there is still hope....

Karl, I am interested to see how you do it. I have tried to do mine the poor boy way, but I broke down and bought a harness and a few other things along the way. Not 100% budget minded, but close.
