I’m sure this has been discussed but my question is I have a 97 k1500 ccsb with a 5.7 vortec and a 4l60e the truck is currently sitting on 33’s.
The truck runs great I’ve had the truck for 18 years now but I’m starting a mobile mechanics Business primarily working on powersports equipment and with the price of used trucks it’s not in the budget to buy a work truck so I want to build this truck for towing sxs’s back to the shop problem is it’s a bit of a dog, sry for the long intro but I feel information is key in this scenario.
1- is it worth hopping up the 5.7
2- is it worth swapping in a Ls based engine
The issue comes down to time and cost because I really don’t want to swap the engine just because I know I’ll pull it and it will end up sitting due to the shear amount of customer work I currently have any ideas would be greatly appreciated
