I live in Southeast MI, so I get to hear all types of LS engines ripping on a regular basis. I agree, they sound great and perform outstanding, but totally different animals when it comes to sound and driving experience for me at least.

If he doesn't like it he can always go back to LS and do a prettier swap.

I think I would have kept the turbo ls, but I get wanting to mix it up!

Re: Would you do it? Rip out a Turbo LS for a Big Block

I love my factory Big Block stepper and don't really care about MPG.
Hooker Headers and Cherry Bombs make the sweetest sound to me. Just like the good ol days.
Also turns heads everywhere I go. If you're into that.

Re: Would you do it? Rip out a Turbo LS for a Big Block

I cant wait to get my big block up and running.
Seems like everyone does the LS thing....more common than having a belly button.

Tall valve covers don't cover the stud girdles.
Required spacers.
