Lol I suppose it is.
It wasn't really that long ago that I knew a bunch of F body guys that were fixing up their LTs and got decent power out of 'em. I can't speak for everyone, but it almost seems like GM simplified the design of the newer engine series and the power potential seems to be even more compared to a non traditional SBC platform, I guess that's where the allure for the late model stuff comes from. I'm a little behind the game, my Pumkinator still is, and likely will always be powered by a 400 SBC, but I'm finally leaving the dark ages and getting with the program by delving into a boosted LS with the Mad Wagon. It's probably unfortunate in a way that so many folks have done just that, go from traditional SBC, skip the earlier LTs, and go straight to LS or late LT. Good for you though, more in the wrecking yards for you to snatch up.
Thanks for the compliment!
