Detailed parts and Cost for LS Conversion
I'd love to see a spreadsheet or detailed account of the parts needed to perform a full LS conversion for a '72 vintage 2wd truck. I'm typically guilty of under-estimating true project costs and would love the guidance from someone experienced in the swap/conversion. Do's and Don't would also be appreciated.

Re: Detailed parts and Cost for LS Conversion
This is mine so far. I'm basically done. It's all extras at this point.

Re: Detailed parts and Cost for LS Conversion
Trucks aren't investments, they are tools, or toys. Owners choice.

Re: Detailed parts and Cost for LS Conversion
Yea, why would you want to make your truck start, idle, and drive better, be more fuel efficient, and more powerful.....it might make it worth less when you sell it at Barrett Jackson never.
