Hard to say which is "best", but it's going to be hard to justify the cost of that LS-1 package I would think. The $3500 in labor you traded for the BBC has some lower "cost" to you - your break-even cost compared to your billing rate, but then you traded something of value for the 350/350 combo. The 350/350 will be easier to finish, and offers the most opportunity for more power/torque down the road without too much added cost; where the 454/400 is going to require more deep pocket work to build. From a selling standpoint (return on investment) you'd probably do best by adding a little "bling" to the 350 for eye appeal, and advertise the potential.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
