Guys let’s not get all upset. This is just an opinion forum that was started four years ago. There are ways to do an Ls swap on the cheap even with the more sought after engines (you buy a complete wrecked car from an insurance company like I do). At the end of the day we all own our trucks and will put in whatever we want to have. There will always be purists who want it original and guys that want to modify them to the extreme. At the end of the day I can appreciate them all and I hope you can too. Not trying to continue the debate but how many flat head motors are still out there and why are they still around? The sbc has replaced most of them. Why? It’s way cheaper, they make more power and they are everywhere. The Ls is replacing the sbc. There will always be sbc out there but doing an Ls swap is growing exponentially because it is getting easier and cheaper. At the end of the day the Ls is a better motor (I’m going to catch heat over this I know). Really it is. Better seals better accessories from the factory starters alternators and fuel pumps that last 200k etc. it is decades of engineering put together. Look at the new corvette zo6-700+ hp with a warranty. But back to my original point everyone can make the decision for themselves on what they think is best for their vehicle. Most importantly we should be able to appreciate a good build no matter what combo is in it.
