    LS Engine Swap, why?

    Right for 5k you can buy a whole running 1500 - 2500 series GM truck or van with a 5.3 or 6.0. You could find a camaro or transam too with aluminum 5.7 LS1 but those are harder to find cheap

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    I personally wouldn't change anything, the gearing is fine. It's just that if you want to actually drive the M998 like any modern fullsize truck you need another gear, or more RPM on the engine side, and an engine that can cool with electric fans. A LS would do all that for super cheap and get...

They were all $6k or less. LS would...

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    An ecoboost swap would get good gas mileage, still under powered though. 250hp 290tq at the flywheel. So less torque than the 6.2 6.5 im sure less average tq across the power band from the 2.0 Ecoboost even with the turbo. Kits are $6k. You can get a lot of LS power for 6k. These some LSx...

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    Also an LS swap is so easy. 12v to the harness, carb kit, needs low profile intake and carb cleaner, high alternator mount to keep any fording ability, flexplate adapter for the old 3l80e and some routing of the hoses. Bolt in.

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    I think a LS would be good a good fit. It works in all the full size GM trucks just fine. Reliable cheap parts easy swap to do fuel injected or carburetored. I have a LS2 - aluminum 6.0 in my Corvette no issues. Had a Tahoe with the 5.3. It’ll do highway speeds, pull a boat, run on regular gas...
