Doing a LS Swap! Need Help So I am hoping I can do a Modern drivetrain swap into a 56 Chevy Bel Air. I have an opportunity to purchase a motor, transmission, harness, and pedal out of a rolled over 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500, that ran good and had low miles before the accident. I was offered all the parts removed and ready for me to load and bring home for $1100.
So here is where I am caught up! It’s a truck motor! Or does it really matter? Car or truck? Also from the little bit of research I did, in 2007 this 6.0L seems to have some changes to it, but there is a lot of differences of opinion on what’s good and bad! Can anyone give some basic specs on this motor/trans combo and what I might need to also consider before the truck goes to the crusher after we pull the motor! I opted for this route because I have an older 1965 327HO SBC, but in order to get as close to the desired 400hp, it will cost a lot more than $1100.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!

Best bet is to post in the swap forum, they'll be able to answer up your questions. Real quick though, the engine, accessories, trans, gas pedal & harness, and ECM and engine harness should be all you would need.
