Plus, are there not complications with the car style accessory drives that need changed to work in a truck?

I was wondering about that also. The point of doing the trade would be for simplicity, but if i have to replace all of the accessories then it would probably be a deal breaker.
I always thought that the LS1s were significantly more powerful from the factory than their truck equivalents... Seems like a more to go through without much benefit other than the cool factor.
Where are you guys finding complete motor/trans combos for $1500? I've been calling all over the country around 3-4 k seems to be the average for low miles units. I made another thread about it... Perhaps im just not looking hard enough?
