Why would you want to switch back to the 5.7L engine, to sell the truck and keep the GenIII engine setup? That's a nice truck, I don't think I'd even think about getting rid of it.
    my reasons is because i have a 93 coupe (mustang) and i cut all the wiring harness out and i could just kick myself in the ass today for it, i would like go back efi in the mustang now, i got rid of all the fuel tank, air bag sensors, cruise control, etc etc etc
    and i swore i would never do that again.
    i wouldnt sale the truck but you get my idea or point
    but my truck i just dont want to do a hack job on it because it is nice.

    Once you go LSx, I don't think you'll ever want to go back to a Vortec engine unless you try to restore the truck back to original 20 years from now. Even 67-69 Camaro owners are switching over to GenIII engines. I wouldn't sweat it, worrying about going back to the stock engine.
