Dude, it doesn't take $8K to do a LS1 swap. The drivetrain can be had for less than $3500.

I'm not saying you can't build a good street SBC. Of course you can...but everyone is screaming carb carb carb...no thanks...I've driven 400+ hp carbed motors for days at a time...you can keep them. I guess it's personal preference but if I had a certain amount of $$ and could swing a LSx motor I'd do it over a SBC any day of the week.

BTW, just curious, what's the specs on your motor? Sounds like a runner
