But in terms of modern, affordable performance, you can't beat the LS platform. Plentiful in boneyards, ton of aftermarket and factory support. They make good power out of the box, and can make big power with some effort. For someone looking to go EFI, roller cam, overdrive...this is the most logical option....at least it's still American....haha
OD isnt a bad thing...I went with a 518 trans for the road and its still a normal 727 for the track... its in my Rampage.. but its a dual purpose ride... I'm looking at a modern hemi to put in if I can find one at a decent price.. if I do it I might even twin turbo it just for kicks... I dont need anything over 600HP
Got mine for 300. Broken rod. Matt
Did it tear up the block... I wont mind paying more for a intact(running 5.7) but then I'd go through it for some better parts
