Re: Is the LS Right for my Project?

More excellent info and advice.

I am aware that I'm not going to be able to avoid fabrication, I was just hoping to keep it to a minimum. Though I no longer have my own CNC, there are many companies that offer custom CNC fabrication as long as I provide the required design files (CAD design is a service I provided for our shop). The internet makes so many things readily available!

I'm away from home for the next couple of weeks so I'll have time to dwell on the plan, but all of the combined advice has me seriously considering sticking with the existing engine/transmission, or at least an inexpensive 1st-gen 350 upgrade (w/ transmission and rear end) to use in the interim. In the meantime I can look for a diesel truck to provide a donor while setting aside the finances to cover the more extensive fabrication that will be required.

I'm still going to consider alternatives if anyone has other suggestions to provide.
