Thinking about a LS swap for my 76 K-5

[Streamline1903]

Any input would be great, if you've already done it.
I work in a tow yard, and some of the guys are painful to watch.
If I'm going to do it I'll buy the headache free harness.

The truck has 4X4, a federal vin, 350/350, no cats, 12 bolt corporate front end.
Mods are a gear driven transfer case, 2.5" rancho lift, thorly headers, rv cam, Rochester 4bbl is jetted for 5,000' cold start, 33X12.5X15 good year wranglers.

It whomped like a champ in low 4 above silverthorne, but I think going over the vail pass pulling my trailer would be a lot easier with a LS motor.

Other than that, it's bone stock.
Got it in Cali, when I lived in the Mt Pinos area.
I used to do my test drives on the Miller Jeep Trail, and the Plato Creek Trails. All double black diamond trails.
The carb was built 20 yrs or so ago, by Newhall Carburetor, Ron Hornady's old shop. That was 20 yrs ago. It needs a rebuild for sure.

Several guys on here have done it. Try this one.

Apologies, I'm new to this page.
Where do I post this?

Quite alright. Probably the garage or the the engine swap section.

Thanks, I'll try that.
