Q: Engine swap
Hey guys I'm working on a project planning on swapping a new engine in my truck probably going ls1, would it work? I have a manual transmission truck (on the floor) but all the ls1s I'm finding are for automatic transmissions. Would it be possible to swap? also would I need to swap a tranny since it would have a lot more power compared to the stock 250? What tranny would you guys recommend? Any help is well appreciated
