Agreed. I am married but no kids and no plans for any. My friends and I spend a lot of time and money on old cars so a greasy engine core is always in the cards, plus all the various other parts that need to be cleaned or moved when building a car (from drivers all the way to show winning concours restos) and of course haul garbage, house renos, snowmobiles etc. Always need a truck around.
On the LS2 vs the L76, there isn't much difference really...small drop in compression (0.5), the L76 makes 40 less hp but also does that at at 700 less rpm and is sae certified,bit less torque at same rpm, the AFM system but otherwise both are all aluminum sfi with same bore and stroke and of course both these engines will respond like crazy to mods.
Hopefully GM make it long enough to get this thing here so can do a test drive at least...
