I'm in the same boat. My 350 is tired and fouls the #7 plug after about 750 miles. I am not the only person that drives my truck because my entire family uses as a truck. So, I wanted something that is super reliable and easy to start, good a/c, good fuel economy, smooth, etc.

So, LS is the way I am going. I purchased my neighbors '01 Tahoe for $600. So far, I have pulled engine, degreased it, replaced lifters and resealed. Currently working on the wiring harness and planning location for ECM. It wont be long until I am ready to pull the old 350 out of the '71 and make the transplant. Super excited.
