More and more L83/L86 truck engines are available now from wrecking yards at reasonable prices, some including the 6 speed 6L80E transmission. These are great solutions for drive-train swaps because they are plentiful, powerful, priced far less than the LS3 and Gen V LT1 takeouts and come complete with everything you need. ICT Billet has just released brackets that allow you to easily add hydraulic power steering to these engines. Reference my installation guide for vendors who provide reflashed ECUs.
