Hey yall I got a few questions. First I got this friend of mine trying to find the right V8 for his sonoma (a GMC S-10) and Im trying to tell him that a LS1 or a 5.3 will set him straight on the highway to hell. He says that he does not want anymore than 350HP and that the GEN III motors are too pricey. So do you know where he can find some good engine tranny combos? Oh he also wants a manual not an auto. Hes really looking at the 305s and the crate 350s but IMO those old dinosaurs are outclassed compared to the GEN III's.

Next Im guessing that the outside dimensions on the LS6's E. manifolds is the same as the LS1, if thats the case, will there be a gain for upgrading? I would love LS7 manifolds but those probably wont be available for a while.

Last thing is Posi traction really that terrible? Some people say that is a nightmare on the rain and that is only good for a full out dragvehicle. Something about limited slip just doesnt convice me. Thanks for the info.
