LSX swaps show us what you got

Can you square body owners showcase your 5.3, LS1, LS2 and 6.0 swaps? It would be nice to hear from you guys on your experience and how well you like or love it to include installation tips. Maybe even a few kill stories from the track. I am putting the 6.0 swap on my list for next year. I have seen three on youtube so far.

Re: LSX swaps post or sticky

I have my eye on a 6.0l combo. I know there at least four other square body owners on this board with swaps. I think it would great if you guys put up a sticky on engine swaps.
I am asking because it seems the world goes nuts over high priced fuel injected 67-72 chevy trucks. The square bodies deserve the spotlight for once.
Don't get me wrong I love all chevy trucks but my favorite is 73-87. I hang out on the LS1tech website alot and there are alot of LS swaps from injected to carbed on all kids of vehicles.
