Re: P10 LS swap

After looking off and on for years I finally found one on Craigs local in 2014. GM made 2 lengths in '73, a 7 foot and 8 foot floor. This is the shorter one. Has the optional full width doors in the back which is nice. I put on tires/wheels, lowered it. Used it for camping, tailgating, moving, and crusing around. The 250 6 cyl, 4.11, T350 was no bueno on the highway so long trips were kinda stressful. The LS and overdrive will be a huge improvement for that. I like that the 4.8 matches (withing a cubic inch) the original 292 straight 6 that it would have had from the factory.
