It'll haul azz and get the mpg BUT I think the BBC would have been cooler. JMO
The BBC looks a little cooler due to its physical size and the huge valve covers but I think the LS motors look really cool too when done right and with much better driveability. I went with a healthy cam in the LS but I'll still be able to run power brakes and air conditioning. Something I couldn't do with my current big block as it is a little on the extreme side.

Keep up the great work its inspiring!
Thanks Jimmy, I'm jealous that you have the inside of your cab painted and putting the interior in. It's so cold here that I can barely get my garage heated to 70 degrees and forget about the metal it's hard to get it up to 60 degrees. Maybe I'll see some paint in the spring.
