I have this debate with myself frequently as I am an LS fan.

However, I recently purchased a 71 with a 350/350 combo that runs great and doesn't leak a drop. So, I am having a problem justifying even changing to a 700R4 and aftermarket EFI, much less an LS swap. (From the standpoint of putting to much money into the truck.)

Around the South there are still a lot of carburetor and SBC fans so i am going to leave it. In Colorado I would think a fuel injected engine would be preferred by any potential customer.
