I wasn't planning on spending the money for my trans to get beefed up but the local guy who did it hooked me up. So if i had another 1500 or something like that for a nice clutch and manual trans, then yea it would have it!
As far as rear end, it is GM's G80 rear end.... which as far as I know is GM's nicer rear end for the 10 bolt.
My old motor is sitting in my brothers garage. I was supposed to be selling it to some guy I know who was tricking out an S10.
And insurance didn't go up.... as far as they know its just a v8 Silverado.
G80 just means it has a limited slip, doesn't really tell ya what rear end is in it.
The G80 is OK when its working, but I've seen more spin one wheel than two. :help:

Is the truck in the 15s yet? hehehe
Also, look at STS for an eventual twin turbo package for that LS
haha. what guys do is throw in the GM 14bolt 6 lug axle. if i ever need to, you sure bet i will! but from what i have seen in street trucks, even trucks running 12's in the quarter, they just have a Detroit True-Trac differential and that holds up.
and yea.... i would love to turbo this thing one day
