Re: Anyone Done a Gen. 3 Hemi Swap on a C/10?

This is like walking a fine line....
But I'll have to disagree with you on the LS being junk...
I believe it to be one of the best designed engines out there...
My 99 5.3 had 285k on it never turned a screw on that engine except replacing the waterpump...never even changed sparkplugs...
I could go on and on about other LS engines I personally know have high mileage ....still going strong..
Like someone else stated..hotrod mag took a 4.8 and added turbo and a few other mods and cranked out 1200hp...and that engine came from a junkyard...
To each his own though...I would be more impressed if you stuck the dodge motor in a old dodge sweptline or such..
then theres cost...the hemi swaps I've seen done are extremely expesive...you could build several LS's and still not equal the cost of a hemi swap
