I wouldn't do a carburated version for anything but a drag motor,, but the possibilities of a stock LS EFI top end on a 4" stroke SBC with something like the AFR mongoose heads just gives me a tremble in the knees.
I think its a great concept, and truly is the "best of both worlds". A great aftermarket block that is needed for a high output old school sbc build, ease of installation with the affordability of the Gen-1 bottom-end components, and the great flowing LS heads of your choice. What's not to like !?

I assume there are LS swap headers for a square body out there ??
edit; I see 2wd swap headers, they're a little salty but not a game changer.
