Re: *NOOB* about to do an LS swap

Hmm..time and money...I built my 6.0 LQ9 NV4500 truck about 3 yrs ago..I tried to do my homework on the swap before ever commiting to it..the guy i bought my engine from does LS swaps for a living and he slow walked me through the swap process before i started..but i did the work all myself...I didn't have any real surprises jump up and bite me..I only spent a couple hundred more on my swap than i had figured and didn't really keep up with my time..I took my time though cause I hate redoing things..but it still took less than 2 weeks just working part days before I heard it run..I did this swap before I found this site and all the info contained in it. The biggest hurdle was headers which I knew going in would be a issue..other than that I couldn't believe how smooth and simple it went..and like mario says.."worth every hour and dollar"..you sure won't regret it the first time you shove that right pedal to the floor.
