I put an LS1 / 4L60e in my 78z in 2006. Best decision I ever made. I'm strongly considering selling the Rocket 350 / TH350 in my 1970 442 wannabe for an LY6 with the L92 heads. they flow 300-320cfm stock iirc, better then BBC heads. I prefer drivability over weekend warrior. But that's me, to each their own.

BTW I got that 12 Bolt I bought off you in finally and working. I took forever to get motivated to get it in. LOL

Agreed.

I had this discussion on Classic Oldsmobile and some guys are just purists. I was jerking their chains quite a bit because Old's guys are a fickle bunch. They HATE IT when you put a Chevy motor in an Olds, even tho LS are GM engines.

I got the old "Well everyone is doing it so they're as common as bellybuttons". I then asked how many Oldsmobile's they've seen with LS engines in them and I'll be damned if everyone didn't just get the deer in the headlights look. I probably found all of 3-5 total swaps doing various searches online. I told them they are EXTREMELY rare at this point in time.
