Love this truck, I am looking to do an LS in the near future hear as well. My TBI 350 is shot.
What size turbo were you going with?
Honestly, using it the same way as his existing tbi350 he's going to have more fun. I think on highway performance will be better than the 350. Either engine is humping hard to push 40's around with 4.10's at highway speeds for sure, but off road with the 465 it will be just fine.
A set of gears are definitely in the future. It’s not that bad to drive but you notice it for sure coming from 37s.
Wanted to go play in the deep snow but my front driveshaft/cross member said otherwise. Sounds like it’s going to come through the floor with any load on the engine. Does anyone make a decent aftermarket cross member or am I looking at building one?
Problem is the shaft hits the cross member, I’m guessing from the lift. I have replaced the bushing and put washers under the trans to lift it up, but no luck.

When's the next Tuttle trip?
Hopefully I have my jeep "done" for a run to turtle with you guys at some point
Good question. I want to try the new tires/locker/hydro. Not sure if it will be pre or post LS swap at this point. Truck also needs a lot of little things, but in all reality could go wheeling tomorrow how it is.
I need to put my new top end on when it stops being so damn cold.
Are you guys going to the swap meet this weekend.
Yes sir
Yeah I have zero motivation in this cold crap. I need a heated shop!
I haven’t decided if I’m gonna make the trip down or not. I’ve never been, is it worth going.
I feel that. I’ve got a Christmas bonus, Pto bonus, and commission bonus worth of truck parts in the garage right now going nowhere fast. Next time we get a couple of 50/60 days I might take some pto to install.
Oh I don’t know. Lots of people including Marty usually make the trip to Lincoln for it. I usually buy a few random truck parts.
