I drove a customers 70 Corvette with a big block & Turbo 400 that we completed the other day. I just wanted at least one more gear. It screamed at me most of the drive :-).

If I switch out to an LS it will be to a 6.0 out of an 06 Vette. I have a buddy that has one with 70k on it. I really like being able to start the thing every time after it has sat for a couple of weeks...or months.

I say all of this but this 396 is sitting here waiting for me just to finish bolting it together and start it up. Procrastination may just get the best of me.
