Info on a 5.3l or lq9 swap into 79-87 c10's
Well first off i believe this is my first post. As i am a newb. Lol.
Anyways i was looking for info on swaping an ls based motor into my 84 swb c10. Im really interested in doing it.

I'm doing a 5.3 into a 1948 as we speak. I bought a 5.3 from a local wrecking yard for $1000 with all accessories included. Others may find it cheaper elsewhere. As is always the case your mileage may vary.
I already had a transmission that was built so no extra cost for me there.
I am using a ford 8.8 rear end with disc brakes and a posi. Only $300 at a local yard for that with everything included. Suspension kit was $500 to hang it, though.
I'll know more when I get to it...
