Thanks, I did a lot of thinking about LS or 350 700r combo. The wiring was my biggest concern. The more I read about LS swaps they do not sound very complicated. A junk yard pull out is not much more then rebuilding a 350. 80k on a used LS is nothing. I also have another project car waiting that will get a LS so the truck is also my guinea pig. My biggest cost concern is paint. I have pained about 4 cars but I want this one to be metallic silver which I hear is hard to paint. I don't know if I can do a quality paint job in my garage. This week will be a little test when I paint my frame.
