pondering before i get in over my head!
so ive been reading a lot on the lsx engine swaps and mpg threads lately.
i bought an 82 shortbed stepside lowered. im really aiming to the 15-20 mpg range. the lsx swap seems to be a good swap for power and fuel economy.Except ive been reading people have spent 5k+ on doing the swap! If i were to do it,id just want a BONE STOCK 4.8 or so with a 700r4 or newer tranny.The engine/trannys go for around 800$ here with around 50-70,000 miles. could this be done with confidence for under 2000$ including the engfine/tranny cost? by reading ive found a lot of pre fabbed parts that are needed for the swap, and that if i know a descent amount of mechanics i can do this(me and my dad)...?
