Re: Jegs Crate or LS engine swap.
I put an LS3 eRod 430hp in my '69 Camaro. Didn't even option up to the 480hp. Costs more and is more work than a classic smallblock swap, but in the end, totally worth it.
With that engine, a TKO-600, and a Currie 9-inch helical locker, it cranks, starts, idles and drives like a new 2010 Corvette... at least as far as the engine and drivetrain is concerned.
If originality is not a primary concern, I'm now a strong advocate for the LS engine.
