    lol ya if our trucks were as big as my 67' long bed you could run a divorced setup, too bad there isn't enough room for that. Ya I speak your language, I've done a few LSx swaps in mine and other's vehicles and I LOVE them. I still haven't decided which way I want to go on mine just yet. I've had turbo'd ones, heads/cam NA ones, etc etc. The L31 Vortec 350 in my 98' GMC Z71 I built up (not LSx but still fun 4wd)using a marine intake manifold, speed pro dished forged pistons and h-beam rods, Vortec V1 supercharger and later on I even took that off and ran a nitrous express kit on it. It was funny seeing the people watching me spin 33x13.50 Swampers down the track lol. They'd come running up to me, "what do you have in that thing!". Been awhile since I built a toy like that. I've just been restoring and customizing a few things out here but hope to get started on some more serious stuff soon

    Mine pretty much the fuel injected version of THIS I wanted a supercharger, but with 550 HP naturally aspirated, it seemed over the top, even for me I think I'd start breaking parts if I went much higher. When this engine starts to die I'll probably just overbore and stroke it. Now that I'm committed to NA, there's a lot of stuff to change to go FI, and it's just not worth the expense or hassle to me.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
