Yes, I agree. But which ls should I be looking for with which auto trans? Will 1 from a 2wd truck work? Is there a better year than others? I’m not looking to upgrade the ls from stock, just want a good driving reliable set up.
You really need to look up the rules. Legally you can't grab a 6.0/4L80 from a 2500 truck because it's in a different weight class and this the emissions requirements are different.
Eh.. I'm not to sure on that.. I'd wager a 2500 LQ4 is substantially cleaner then a 80s 305.
And it wouldn't be hard to put the AIR injection stuff on it
Buying stuff out of a 2wd donor vehicle simplified things.
You're right, it is cleaner. Makes sense, right? Not according to the state of CA. That's why I said it's best to read the rules.

I don't know if I would call it the best but it is 50 state legal

Hi, I don’t want a 6.0. I’m thinking a 5.3 what would be best?
Start on page 45.
The one person I would ask this question of is the person who will inspect the vehicle and determine if it is legal the "BAR Referee". they will affix the label that says what it will be smogged as in the future. (see page 39).
