Re: "Sweet Pea" 1975 Cheyenne 20

I'm all for LS swaps. Just not for the 'just because' factor when the old small/big block is alive & doing fine.

I understand if someone has a broken or worn-out original drivetrain or if they're going to do some tweaking regardless, the LS swap makes sense from an investment perspective. But buying in on the 'swap' being cheap? Maybe, if:
  • You've shared previous experiences w/someone who has.
  • You have an automotive technician background.
  • You don't mind your engine compartment looking like a Tahoe or late model Camaro.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
