Re: New toy. What should I do with it?? Help me out!!!

If you want a suggestion for an engine swap that's not very common -- Demonstrate a L83 engine paired with a nv4500, and set it up for dependable daily driving. I can't find evidence that anyone has done it. The crank flange, bell housing, and computer tunes will all give you trouble.

Edit: it doesn't have to be a nv4500 or a L83. Just any of the gen-5 engines mated to a manual trans and in a 4wd truck.
