and for emphasis it's not the stock motor, whatever that's worth... it's already out the door. we are not talking about a concours restoration here, just a really nice truck to drive around town.

Ummm, keep the V6. If you want and LS1 just go get a jimmy or S10 blazer and stuff it in there.

I would say ruined, not as much as switching out the motor would be.
