LS Swap Vs. Procharged SBC

[DannyBoy]

There are soooo many examples of cheap LS swaps. A bone stock 6.0L will handle a significant amount of boost and still knock down great, efficient mileage with that 6 speed. In the long run, with the same amount of money spent in each engine, you'll make more power with the LS, be dependable, and you can drive it anywhere. I've been a BBC guy my entire life until I built my first LS. Now I'm potentially building my last. Once the wrecked 2014+ Silverados start piling up, I'll be building a new LT1.

I'm so glad I left that antiquated stuff behind.

Great advice - Even though the LS is a bigger up front investment for less power than I could make with the ProCharger on the 383, it would provide one hell of a foundation for future mods to make more power (and reliable power, at that), which I will inevitably be doing at some point. If I went with the blown 383, that would really be the end of that road.



As I said in my previous post; loving seeing on the WA state folks on here. Where in Seattle are you from?
