Which LS would you prefer?? (1 Viewer)

[Elkwagn]

I have a new LS1aluminum 5.7, a 100k mile aluminum 5.3 already DOD deleted and ready, and a new iron 6.0. The 4l80 and rebuilt T-case are already installed and new drivelines made and installed. This will be for sale once finished, and I'm curious what more people would want?? Basically rust free, super clean original interior, 162k original miles.

All things the same, I would want the 6.0

6.0 with the 4l80’s tall first gear

"no replacement for displacement".....................some old skool hotroddin' gearhead

Between the two, definitely the 6.0.

Bigger is Better!!!

That's what she said. . .

And my vote would be for the iron block 6.0 as well. . .

Lq9 6.0

Unpopular opinion. The L33 5.3. High compression - cathedral heads. 100lb weight savings and also significant gas mileage increase over the 6.0.

I wouldn’t say the L33 makes any noticeable power difference over a regular 5.3 and or any difference in gas mileage difference vs a 6.0 in a Land Cruiser. Way too many variables.

The 100lbs weight savings with the aluminum block is the biggest advantage IMO

Side note for those 16" wheels - did you machine out the bore to fit the hubs? Running spacers?

Personally, I'd love an LQ4/9 swapped FJ62.
So I am going to vote for the 6.0 even though this isn't a FJ62
