Re: 86 K30 Restomod LS swap AKA Blue Rust

Out of curiosity I weighed the two drivetrains to see how they compared.

dressed 6.2 diesel, turbo 400 and np208 - 1012 lbs

fairly bare 4.8, 4l80, and np 205 - 877 lbs

after you add the accessories to the 4.8L it looks like they are not a whole lot of difference,

Also pictured is a previous project, a 2006 cummins 5.9 that got some spicing up. It weighed 857 lbs without accessories, so would be significantly heavier in a swap.
