there is nothing that i can do, the big problem is there no parts for a truck like ty :(

what exactly cant you find? I dont know to what extent your build sheet is, but there are quite a few trucks on here that have rebuilds/major problems and find they parts needed. Usually someone somwhere on this board will have a part that you need if its hard to find.

Re: how about....

The LS1 stuff doesn't bolt in either. The parts are available to convert them, but I think you going to run into the same problems of shipping/payment.

The motor doesn't just drop in, you need different accessories, custom oil pan, custom motor mounts, etc

Tydriver is doing a LS6 swap, you would want to serach & read his posts.

I think it's totally up to you. :tup: I bought my truck specifically because it was an AWD turbo V6. When the engine goes, it'll get another turbo V6 and another and another. :lol:

But if you're in a place where parts for them are hard to come by, shipping is ridiculously $$$$ and you're looking for reliability, why not put a V8 in it? You can get the same hp/torque with less hassle. :tup:

But again, it's a personal thing. If you want to, go for it, if not, I'm sure there's a way to get parts to you somehow. :)

Just my :2cents: though. :cool:

Re: how about....

I have never fully research a LSx swap, so I am not really qualified to make a suggestion. I am more of purist (ie keep the AWD/V6 Turbo), but sometimes the non traditional mods can make sense depending for some people.

Re: how about....

I just don't like other engines on our trucks.

You asked our opinions and this is mine.

It would be cheaper if you had bought an old Blazer and then put the LS1 engine.

But as stated above, is up to you.

I just think you could find a lot of help here. Believe me, I know what is having a truck overseas.

Good luck with the project :tup: .

Re: how about....

Sorry I just noticed you were in Kuwait, hence your shipping dilemma. I didnt mean that in a negative way. I personally would do whatever it is to suit your needs, as parts for the engine your looking at would be more common/cheaper. Sticking with the V6/AWD/turbo would keep it rather unique, but I understand where your coming from. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes! :tup:
