Hey all. New to the site, been lurking for a little while now. I'm looking into grabbing another Silverado, only this time more of a "street and strip" truck than the usual off road action I've previously used trucks for.

I've had OBS Silverados, and an LS1 GTO, but never combined the LS and Silverado together.

The truck in question is a 4.3 V6 reg cab short bed 2wd. Pretty bare bones, paint is a little rough (in a cool way) but the body is straight and everything runs and drives great. Plan is a little conservative drop, 315s out back, and a V8 up front. Ideally an LS2 but if I can get the right deals on certain things I'd likely go 4.8 or 5.3. Modest mods, small cam, regear the rear, posi... and then see where it goes from there. Of course a turbo would always be nice, but I'm trying to make this the first vehicle i've actually kept "on budget"... just something to cruise around and enjoy.
