Welcome to the forum. I don’t know of anyone off the top of my head that has LS swapped a 3rd gen but I’m sure someone has. Dig a few pages in on the V8 swap section and see if you can find anything. Search function is handy too.

I’m sure that you are aware that it will require a ton of fab work and wiring. Nobody makes a bolt in kit so you will be on your own for most of it.

There is at least one thread active at the moment about a LS swap. It seems like a challenge...

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
cut and tube stock truck manifolds, with a ttb chassis its likely easier to mod a speedway pan...dingo mounts.
