Refrained from smashing the dash in with a 4# sledge, and instead removed my bumper for painting this week.

Fair enough, how much are you planning on this when all said and done? you will probably need to beef up your transmission too right? are you thinkin 7k?
And if you are already swapping the whole harness what does it matter if its for a LS engine or your 5.4?

***cough***LSx FAN BOY***cough*** :D


Hauled a desk with it and drove it to a friends house to tear apart the interior on a '92 Chevy Caprice Classic (wagon).

Drove the truck to church and home.

Drove my Mom's Kia Borrego to Albuquerque and back to take her to lunch (so we could all go in one car) and I am glad I don't have to drive it all the time. She likes it, and it is a very nice "SUV" but I don't think I could tolerate it all the time. Funny skip-shifts, inconsistent power delivery, blind spots, twitchy steering, it just isn't something I enjoy. I am sure I could get used to most of the quirks if I drove it more, but I sure enjoy driving my truck ALOT more!

I don't care who you are, the LS engine platform gives you the best bang for your buck period. I'm not hating on any other platform and many are proven to make insane amounts of power but the LS engine is compact, light weight and puts down the numbers inexpensively.

Strictly from a performance perspective, there is no other V8 on the market that compares to the LS series engines when it comes to long life, power, and ease of modification without breaking the bank.

Nothing comes close right now.

That was pre-Eco Boost, Jim.
