In what, the local land fill?
I'm not sure why you would post that comment in this thread when it's pretty clear I've already completed this swap. There were many advantages of going with a V8 from the same parent company. I'm no fan of SBC's as I find them pretty boring. That's not to say they are not good, just boring. The LS motors are very sweet though and GM deserves a great deal of credit for how much power they make. That said, I am thrilled with my 5.2L. The swap is easier in many ways than any Chevy motor and suits the purpose perfectly. So the only place I'll be dropping a Chevy motor into is a land fill. Sorry.
