Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback.

Man...my head is swimming.....

Just trying to get the most for the dollar....which is starting to lead me away from the LS toward a bigblock/700r4. Maybe a reman 427 or 454. I might buy a fuel injection kit (like and newer Enderle style) for it later when dollars permit. Right now...I'd just like to decide for sure what block I'm using so I can get started on the mounts/frame Xmember etc. Once Ive decided....it will be set in stone so I wont be a pest......LOL's.

Really thanks!
