im not one to advocate brand swapping. but an Ls would be perfectly smog legal as long as you retain the factory LS smog equipment. only thing is after the swap you would need to go to sacramento and get it Bar'd and after that you will get paper work and they will put a sticker in your door jamb okaying the swap so smog techs wont get all crazy!

Im a ford guy so of course I say KEEP IT FORD! you may want to consider some 3:73's. I see a lot of rearends with gears come up for sale over at cafords.com should sign up so you can find foxbody parts!

Yeah they may be an option down the road but wanting to keep this sucker very basic and simple. Just burned out on major projects. Mainly due to time to work on stuff and funds. Heads and cam swap would be pretty cheap for the most part and should make about 300 rwhp or so. Im on cafords as well. Lots of deals to be found. I picked up a super clean set of 3.55's on craigslist the other day for $50. Still looking to keep the rpm's ideal and the 3.55's is right at the limit of were I want it. This car is my true DD right now 99% of the time. Giving my Duramax a break..lol.
