Be sure and consider the cost of a new transmission too!

You do not have to make the gas tank any bigger. Check out JagsThatRun.com for more information on what needs to be done. They literally wrote the book on this process.

As far as engine costs go, it all depends on what you can find. I will be purchasing a 1990 Suburban 2WD with a very rusty body, but 5000 miles on a rebuilt motor (TBI 350) and transmission (700R4) for $200. Pull the engine and trans and scrap the rest for a net purchase price of ~$100. Deals like that do not come along everyday, but they are out there.

No, if I were to do a swap in that truck, it would be the LS2.
