S10 vs. Colorado - Pro and Cons of LS 5.3 swap either 4L60E or NV3500

Why not just buy a Colorado that came from the factory with the 5.3?

Try 8-15k buster. They made them for several years and can be found used for about what it would cost you to do the swap.

coming from someone who is in the middle of a s10 swap. if there is one available with a v8 from the factory, spend a little more and get the one with a factory v8. makes life 10x easier AND cheaper in the end. everything will look right, and function like factory.
