LS Swap Vs. Procharged SBC

[Mkelcy]

I was hoping you'd say you had the exact same engine I'm considering buying... Really leaning heavily toward making the LS investment. Seems like an inevitable thing at some point, so I may as well not build a different engine now, then another later. I love the idea of the modern power, reliability and even fuel efficiency. Would love to see some photos of your car/engine bay if you have any you can post up.

PS - Great to see so many WA state folks on here!

Beautiful! What accessory kit are you running? Also, what radiator/fan combo did you go with?

I'm running the GMPP accessory drive (w/o AC) and the Holley bracket for the AC compressor. I had a Kwik bracket for the AC compressor, but ended up eating one of the ribs on the serpentine belt and didn't feel like shimming it out.

The radiator is a PRC radiator set up for the LS engine with their aluminum shroud and dual 13" fans. I had the car in a parade here for the county fair - about 2-3 miles at a walking pace on a 90 degree day. The coolant went up to 210 degrees (the designed operating temperature) and then stayed exactly there for the balance of the parade. I know because I was watching it like a hawk.
