I have a quick question. I do not want the same engine for a for my car. I was looking at a ls3 and ls6, but I was also looking at 353 Windsor engine. Which one would your recommend?

Hey DARRELL,

I would install the same engine because it will cost so much more to install a different one. The mounts are different, exhaust manifold, transmission etc. Stick with what you have, the days of changing engines for a different one are kind of gone.

Best, Ken
