Individual research is pretty cost effective

There are a lot of threads on this particular truck so just do a search and see what everyone has done. This is my budget build and I have the cost of what I spent each day as I went along just so I could keep track of the cost. https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...71-c-10-a.html

Which is when I come on here and say- "Call Holley. Any reason they wouldn't know?"

I agree 100%!

Because it requires effort.

Now "research" somehow omits the "search" bit and instead consists of asking people what they did and getting mad when they don't hand you the answers in a pretty package.
