 short bed standard cab v6 is also a good combo it makes 300hp and gets over 18/24mpg

 

 

Well over if you don't drive like your box is on fire!

 

Worst tank ever driving in town and letting it idle an hour at the shop was over 22 mpg.

i would love to find one of these v6 trucks for tuning, the less weight, better handling, i think would be fun for a turbo mounted in the bed. i would like to see how much power the long rod v6 LS could make. be fun for track use against v6 euro cars. so many fuel upgrades from the v8 trucks, i can only imagine power could get close to 800hp

There was a guy named OscarLS2 on youtube who did that already with a rear mount. Not sure how much power he put down but he ended up blowing the engine.

lots of ls v8 ls trucks blow up too, due to poor tuning and parts selection

@pokismokiJust saying what happened with it. His engine had some issues and I guess he was too hard headed to correct them. I recall it only firing on 4 cylinders at some point lol

He was swapping to a 6.2 last I heard though

Ecotec3 V6 is plenty tough. Uses the same parts as the V8's.
