How much stuff are you looking at replacing..we know your doing the engine so what else do you need to replace
Curious about this LS you speak of. The running gear is fine. The 700-r4 was rebuilt to heavy duty standards and has less than 1000 miles on it (if that).
My engine tech is limited to old school due to lack of use. Heck i don't even know what "ad" means.

Thanks to all for the kind words and the links. Rather partial to the old Army Air corp symbol for the doors
