New guy from FL. Contemplating 454ss to LS swap...

but a 454LSXr engine swap would be special. :thumb: www.sdparts.com

Maybe a 720 or 620 HP 572 would be noteworthy.

Something to keep in mind is that while 13,xxx of these trucks were sold in the first year, in 1992 only 1,xxx were produced.

Thanks for the input guys. I thought for sure there would be someone here on the LS1truck.com who'd say swap in the LS. haha. I def understand why you guys are advising against it though. I am aware of the production numbers in 92, actually that is part of the reason why I got the truck. That and the fact came with the 4L80e from the factory. The only thing in the BBC realm w/in my budget would be the zz454 crate engine which is around $6k. I think I'd rather do a crate engine vs rebuild, but that's something else I could look into I guess is a rebuild. $6k in the LS world goes a LONG way. A low mile LY6 + cam/springs would be what I'd lean towards if I do go the LS route. And I could probably do that for $4-5k.

You guys have def given me some food for thought though. I'll keep my ears open if anyone else wants to chip in their $0.02. Thanks again.

I'll buy that 454 from you can do the LS swap. I've been needing a new boat anchor. I wouldn't piss on that 454 if it was on fire...

6k on an LS swap is EASY. Do it and don't look back. You'll be much happier.
