These LS conversions have become bolt ins now with kits from folks like BRP hotrods: BRP Muscle Rods Your LS1 - LSX Conversion Kit Specialist. This is the way of the future. Even if you don't like the EFI, now there are numerous options to use a carb with these new motors. For the money you would spend on a stroker big block you could easily do the LS. Best of both worlds!

This would be my vote, Dave. The Gen III and IV series engines are way ahead of the older engines in design and potential. They already have all the stuff we used to spend big speed buck on like aluminum heads and roller cams; plus they have 6 bolt mains to boot. No contest.
