Welcome to the club!!!

I am currently working on my first LS swap, and I know I was surprised at how high the cost was of the swap. Good luck with your swap!!

That is one of the big reasons I joined the site. I am not dead set on doing the swap. Right now Im gathering as much information as possible. This truck is a daily driver and I want it to be as reliable and easy to fix as it is now. Im not looking for speed or pulling power, I just want more then I have now. I love the idea and the challenge of going LS, but TBI 350 will suit my needs just as well and will be cheaper and easier to trouble shoot. Right now I would be looking at going with a 5.3 pullout swap. No rebuild, no upgrades, just swap and go.

Either way I choose, it will still be at the earliest next year before I even start the swap.

Thanks again.

Well I have weighed my options and I am not doing a LS based swap. It is not what I am looking for.

Right now I am looking at converting my truck to A/C. Then maybe next fall I will start looking into swapping a vortec 5.7 in using the existing TBI and all the small necessary tidbits.

This is the best direction for me and this truck for two main reasons, simplicity and cost.
