I agree, I have been looking at the swap in my Suburban. I can buy a brand new, not rebuilt GM L31 for $2,000 and it pretty much bolts in.
To do a LS swap for the same money I have to buy a used LS engine, much more work getting it installed and working right and what have I gained? While I would like an LS I would have to spend close to twice as much as to end up with a new engine and performance wise no appreciable gain.
Nothing against the LS but the gains just don't justify another $1,500 to $2,000.
