Ya I am done the small 327 I am getting ready in the next few months to purchase a LS2. I figure it is about 100-150 pounds lighter and with the headers and good tune it will put 350-360 hp to the ground. That means it will easily run mid to low 13's with stall. What do you guys all think. The swap will cost about $5500. But I can probably sell mine for like $500-$1500.

go for it.

 

you could build a nice 383 or 402/408 stroker for that amount, with some really nice heads too! You will need a tranny either way.

 

Yep, start looking for a tranny. Go ahead and do anything you might want to upgrade later(heads,cam). Are you extended cab or single cab? If you're regular cab, I'd say you could easily see 12s(I'm there and I don't have as much motor as you are going to have). Set up a game plan, and decide exactly what you want to do before you start buying stuff. It will save you so much trouble in the long run. Good luck.

 

i agree with the 402 or 408. for the money you will have more power at your disposal. granted, it would be nice to have a ls2.
