Ha its a no brainer for me. LSx swap it.
4L60E if you want to have a daily driver / cruise mobile. 4L80E if you want to beat the ever living crap out of it.
I keep a look out for good deals and score sometimes.
Im knee deep in a 91 c1500 5.3/80E swap right now. Bought the 5.3 from my buddy that we had it in a 98 2wd and it went a 11.3@117 in the 1/4 with a cheap magnum 76mm turbo. Im going for 10s and 25mpg.
Power and fuel mileage can be had easy with these things if you have the right setup.
Small torque cam and a good torque converter with the right gear you can still get 20 mpg and be a fun daily.
