Crate Engine or Tranny with Stall??? I planned on doing both at the same time but finaances won't allow me to do so. Which would yeield the greatest gains....An ls6 or lq4 goodwrench ctare engine with my current mods plus longtubes or a new tranny and converter combo from on of our sponsors?
My current engine has 138,000 miles on and has been babied. I am the second owner, i have all service records and has kept regular maintenance with mobile 1 or RP fluids and seafoamed with zero smoke after doing so.
The tranny install would leave me with money to possibly do a 243 head sawp and ls6 intake. The crate engine plus labor would exhaust my funds. I also have the optionof ordering a turn key engine from a tahoe or 04 GTO for about 3500 this includes intake, pcm, harness, everything to do a direct swap with mileages ranging from 13k to 65k.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, please include recommended parts.
