I'm not sold on the LS, though recognize gains. My 1008 has a rebuilt gen 1 SBC. Mild cam, intake, headers. Work truck..... Hei needs one hot wire, no electronics other than that! (well, does have elec choke, so that's two wires!) Very simple
It's a nut and bolt restoration " work truck". Used for plowing, firewood and maybe 1500 miles a year...... Does everything I need it to do and early SBC parts are cheap! Had this one over 15 years.... The 82 C30 dually before this I had for over 20 years. Bought it with a blown 6.2 and swapped in a gasser!
Have a little experience in this arena! Used to be SBC's were cheap and available but not so much anymore. Then again, the newer vehicles start rusting before you drive off the lot.......
And I drove more miles then most in Cucvs when they were new...... And, have hearing loss to match those miles!
