Engine Swap

I have a 85 c10 and I want to do a Engine swap.

Should I either do a Ls1 or 5.3L?
I pretty much know what all I need. Dakota digital gauges, new a/c comp, new sending unit for the gas tank, etc..

What motor mounts should I use? S&P is the only I know of.

Re: Engine Swap

for gauges you can get a set for a 89-91 suburban,1-ton crewcab or a blazer they had electric drive speedos in them that will work with the ls1 swap



welcome to the board by the way!

Re: Engine Swap

If u really want performance than go with the ls1 if u want a bit more affordable mild peformance then go with the 5.3.
