Period correct schmeriod correct, LS swap the world! lol
For a budget build, especially a 4x4, I'd probably stick with a warmed over small block. Having a modern engine in front of a not modern trans (SM465, TH350/400) negates much of the advantages of doing an LS swap. If you want to also use a modern trans (NV3500/4500, 4L60/80, etc), then you have more cost as far as Tcase adapters, new driveshafts, clutch adaptation, etc. It snowballs quick. Ask me how I know

I'll agree that were both better off than the Amish.

After I posted that, I thought to myself, I hope he's not Amish. Then I realized if he was, he wouldn't be on here. That's the great thing about poking fun at them, they will never know.
