I kinda want an LS but but don't want to put out the effort. And for the prices they want around my area it's not really worth it. Plus being 4x4 I have to swap out the cross member and lift all at once

Before I got the truck it got a brand new turbo350 so it's kind of hard to go back on that and go to the LS with the 4l60e

Love the idea of the 260 hp crate but think I can do a little better. Could I just throw vortec heads on it or would that be counter productive?
