I just starting working on a budget build 67 C10 about 4 months ago. Something I've been debating in my head for awhile now is whether I should go with a 454 an LS or LQ9 build. I do plan on installing a 4L80e sometime soon. When ever the build is semi complete and drive able I'll probably only drive it a few times a week to work and back and maybe to the drag strip a couple of times a year for events. I would like to have the 454 with efi because I'm not a fan of fiddling with carburetors. As far as the LS and LQ9 I've always liked the LS and have always wanted one and the LQ9 I like because the block is stronger and can handle more power and I know they relatively the same. In the distant future I would like to add boost for sure. Which ever motor I choose it will have to come from a junkyard.
