You may not take the time to read this but those “junk yard engines” can be pretty damn impressive.

Like I said before I love the old small block motors and some of the old big blocks too, I really do. I’ve had several of them and no major failures. The LS stuff just takes the GM small block to a whole other level. If you know anything about there architecture, they are a Chevy hotrodders dream and ford and dodges worst nightmare.
I’ll be about $1500-$2000 all in on my ls swap when it’s all said and done including a cam swap and a complete reseal. With the things I’m doing to the motor I should be pretty close to 500 crank hp and I’m hoping for between 420-440 to the wheels all with a truck cam that will still make the bottom end torque. Pretty respectable and still totally completely useful as a truck. I’m definitely not rich as you put it. I do all my own work and spend my money wisely.
