    He wouldn't have to but what I'm assuming is a TH350 or TH400 in it now wouldn't do a turbo'd LS justice. I've got friends that run 3 speed automatics behind LS engines but they're less than ideal on the street/highway.

    A th350 or 400 would hold up but I wouldn't boost it more than 5-7lbs till he could get a built 80 in it, we built a shop truck and ran 10lbs on it for almost a year till we did an 80 swap

    You're right, I wouldn't have to do the tranny swap right away, but I have a 4l80 here and it'd be nice to get the overdrive.

    Was thinking about just doing another small block, but after looking around all day online, a 6.0 LS is looking pretty good. Don't be surprised if you see some stuff pop up in the classifieds from me tonight to help with the fundage.
