Re: Engine swap for a dependable k20 driver

That 454 will last forever. There are a bazillion of them on the road (and on Power Tour) that will live long dependable lives. If you wanna swap over to a full roller... now's the time.

LS swap would be cool... but again, why mess with what you already have?

The 8.1's are expensive when you find one. Even more expensive to build one.

If all you're doin' is cruisin'... then I'd skip the Diesel swap.
