Hey yall. Names Joe. I have a 97 obs Silverado. It’s lifted 6” on 35x12.5x15 dick cepek extreme countrys. She’s got about 198 on the clock. Interior is blue and doesn't look much older than a few years body is super straight the motor could use a little pep but it runs really good. This is my second 97 obs first one was ls swapped after I was 18(20yrs ago) cause I was young and dumb and jumped it cracked the oil pan and proceeded to drive it back home 200 miles from the middle of the desert. She finally seized 100yrds from my house. Then my dad just shy of shot me cause I ruined his truck. Then he gave it to me broken and proceeded to help me ls swap it. The next year I went into the military and that became his daily for about 7 years and I got it back in 2014 still an awesome ride. But finally decided to trade it in on a trailblazer ss. Anyway. The motor on that went out less than a year after I bought it so I sold that and got this here 96.5/97 obs for $613 with “a bad tranny” took it to my shop scanned the codes she needed a new $80 trans wiring harness. Fixed her up and here we are 5 years later it’s become my daily again! I look forward to sharing her journey with yall. I’m having trouble deciding on whether to ls swap it or go 383 stroker. Both seem to make the same power. I have only ever driven a stock obs and then the ls swapped one. So I’m here for opinions also. I’m also not opposed to pepping this 5.7 up. Feel free to give me some ideas.
