i can go to the auto recycler and get complete changeover lq4's for 1400 a pop

thats the motor, comp, harness, fuel pump, tac mod, gas pedal

everything but transmission and the ingenuity to make it fit and novak helps with that


shit we bought a 19000 mile ls2 changeover WITH a trans for under 5. thats about as good as it gets without having it show up in chevy crate

I would punch myself square in the face if I dropped $4k on a 4.0.

Lots of good arguments for the V8 and it can be done for the $4k. And, yes it will take more work. However, you get what you put into it.

horsepower per dollar... a 5.3L is going to be your best bang for your buck.

your area may be different, but around here a decent mile 5.3, 4L60e, and complete wiring pop up regularly for around $500. as said, itll be considerably more work. but your getting more power than a stroker, in a more reliable, completely stock motor. ive seen too many stroker failures, mine included, under 100k miles.

How regularly? What kind of mileage do they get?

Just do a search for the engine codes, pretty much any chevy pickup v8 from 1999 and up will be better than a stroker build.
5.3- vortec 5300, ly5, lmg , lc9, lh6
4.8- vortec 4800, ly2, lr4
