Hey guys(and gals), just joined and enjoy the site. Lots of information and informative folks willing to help others out.
Recently finished the LS swap in my truck. Runs great for the few occasions it's driven.

Chevy-Art, thanks for the welcome. The truck is not my daily driver. It is driven on weekends, or when the need arises for the use of the truck. With only 157,000 on the clock, a decently straight rust free body, and a lucky chance to score a '99 6.0 with the harness, ECM and a cooked trans thrown in for good measure, how could I go wrong with the swap?Originally Posted by Chevy-Art

I ended up putting the engine in as-is. She ran too good to take apart for the installation of aluminum heads. Even at 140,000 on the engine, she runs quietly without any valve train noises. The occasional cold piston slap is evident but quickly disappears. No known oil consumption between changes. The only thing I did was replace the rear main seal for good measure.
I'm not looking for anything to take to the drag strip. Just some more power than the old, tired 350.
