Definitely going for a Gen V LT. Should have been more specific, I was using "LS" as a generic term.

That's probably going to be a little out of our price range. We'll probably go with a L83 and 8L90 or 6L80. I sure like my 8L90 in my 2016 though, other than how hard it is to service.

I have seen somewhat botched LS conversions I would not step near.
Check out CurtB1971 LS conversions, this guys rigs are really sharp. He thinks things through and comes up with some cool stuff.
Sorry Curt for the attention, I really like your ideas into concept for these trucks.
Now if I wanted to just buy an LS converted truck I would take his work seriously.

Does Curt have other build info? I only know of his Bonnie project.
