Mileage
I love late 60's Chevy trucks and have dreamed about a
LS1/automatic w/overdrive powered daily driver. I'd rather drop the
dough into one of those than purchasing a newer Silverado. IF I can get
that combo to work reliably with at least double digit gas mileage. Not
too far fetched eh?
Talk about livin' the good
life.........swapping between a "67 short bed pickup and my '69 Chevelle for
the daily grind. Dare to dream!
Funny thing is my woman would
rather I get a '70 Blazer with that combo........she likes that the top comes
off! Go figure!! 8-)

Borlas on a LS1 sound pretty cool
too. I live in both worlds--LS1 6 speed in the C5 and 454s in both the Elky
and 66. For cruising can't beat the former--combined ~29 mpg between here
(western Oregon), Yellowstone, and back.
A buddy has successfully put
LS series engines in gen 1 camaros, tri-fives, and other prods from the
General with great results and happy customers. Hard to argue with, all
things considered.

- But the "Wow!" factor of opening the hood and seeing a
big block is hard to beat. Plus, there's no better sound than
hearing the rumble of a BBC. Just my humble opinion.
- Besides, if it's a weekend toy what's an extra $5 to play?
