Ls1 Conversion in a ford truck

[pl4yboy]

sounds good i am still looking into it. I am getting alot of grief over the whole chevy in a ford thing from my wife's brother but the simple truth is that a Chevy engine and tranny are bulletproof and they get Great Gas Mileage. Her brother even tried to sell me a 351w to replace the 302 with but i know from personal experience that a 351w is a GAS HOG.

I cringed when you said the trannies are bulletproof. An 80 or an Allison, yes, they can be built almost bulletproof. A 4l60e? I laughed a little.

I didnt mean it the way it sounded i thought i had stated that the 4l80e would be the tranny i was going to use however the 4l80e wasn't the only tranny general motors put behind the LS1. well at least GM's get good gas mileage and hp/tq

I think the 60e is a good trans, it has a place in the lineup but it doesn't belong in performance trucks and tow vehicles, at least in my opinion. With that and 75 cents you can make a phone call.
