Re: Anyone Done a Gen. 3 Hemi Swap on a C/10?
The beefier bottom end on an LS impresses me. Overall size is easier to work with, too. I have a friend who bought his way into piston slapper hell with GM only to end up with a blown motor. I understand how that would leave a bad taste. But judge them all by that, or slam the door shut on GM for 30 years of product is just shooting yourself in the foot from where I stand. I didn't like the GMT400 when they first came out, it sucked that they discontinued the Malibu/Monte Carlo/El Camino. Yeah, I wasn't real happy with where things looked to be going after '87. But in '92 after seeing several GMT400s put to the stress test out on jobs and taking it, I ordered a truck up. Went 22 years and 335k very reliable miles. It was still a nice truck ready for much more when I sold it. I just can't find any flaws in that.
