84 K20 "Ethel" Not an Sbc/NV4500/241C

A 5.3 will tow 8k occasionally just fine. Sucks about your 6.2 though. Nothing worse than going backwards this far along.

I'd take an LS motor over a GM diesel any day and twice on sunday and I've got two diesel powered rigs in the driveway.

I still consider them Isuzu. Good motors though. But I prefer my inline oil burners.

If you go from a 6.2 to a 6.0 you could tell everyone you dropped the deuce!

 

[Babaganoosh]

Maybe he is sandbagging us and getting a 6.2 ls.

4.0 ford v6

You're asking a bunch of rednecks about old spice?
You deserve a v6 ford

More interesting with a 6.2.

I did.

Look at it this way. If you run the 4.0 you'll have the same amount of power as before, without that nasty low-end torque. Win-win!

 

[sreidmx]

Haha! No way!

I do agree with this..

Now that I've had a snickers, I want you to know I am happy for you. I just wish it could have worked out with the diesel. I also still think there is time to make it work, but I understand your decision. I rolled some coal last night in remembrance of our fallen diesel soldier.

Now, on to LS things.

Any additional horsepower adders going in or on?

 

[sreidmx]

Ethel thanks you..
As of right now there isn't any plans for power adders. Just needs to be reliable. Needs to run first!
This motor is a VVT/DOD motor and I am going to keep those features active to try and squeeze some mpg and torque out of it in the tune.

My wife's 09 Tahoe has VVT, and I like it. She gets 17 in town and mid 20's on the highway. I imagine after the newness wears off, and she can keep her foot out of the throttle, that she will end up closer to 18-19mpg's in town. She still likes to smash the throttle and pass people on the way to work. She didn't have that option with the 4.0 Grand Cherokee lol.

My '00 gets 15mpg, but I drive like an idiot, so that's pretty good with my heavy foot.

Sounds like both of you need some new shoes...

I wear Chuck T's to try and lighten the load.
