Hi Guys,

I came up on a 5.7 Vortec with all accessories that was rebuilt 25k miles ago for price that I basically feel like I cant pass up.

I was wondering what you guys think of the 5.7 Vortec Engine, and also what you think about doing the 5.7 Vortec Swap. I would really like to get an LS Motor, but I feel like the Vortec price is great given its condition AND given that I am trying to do it on a Pretty tight budget.

Ultimately, I want the 65' to be a good and reliable driver that still has some power and can drive on the Highway (thinking 4l60E too).

I am sure that the engine wont be around for long, so I am hoping to make a decision today. What do you guys think!?

Thanks for your help, fellas!

(Currently have a 327 with 4 speed)
