A couple years ago when I first started V8'ing literally everything, a true LS1 was around $1,100 fully dressed and a 5.3/5.7/6.0 from a truck was under $500 all day long. Prices haven't swung too much in the North East yet but after you've taken that initial investment of a swap kit and all that, how do you beat tossing in junkyard motors for a couple hundred when they pop rather than trying to source/repair a SR for ten times that just to make less power and it be less reliable? The mindset is what I'm trying to understand.
