Replace head gaskets and larger pulley, cheaper than LS1 swap no?

rings are worn out....theres been a ton of blowby since i got it back. like, smoking from the breathers at idle type of blowby. 
maybe not going with an LS1, but it definitely needs a new motor/rebuilt.

Factory forged pistons are really nice. Did your LT1 have them?

Nope, good ole cast hypereutectic pistons. But I also didn't throw a blower on it. Yet.

My next door neighbor has a wagon with a EFI 5.0 in it - same setup as in the mustang. It was his DD until early this year when the brake lines rotted and he decided it ain't worth the effort. Starts & runs. I bet he'd part with it for a few hundred bucks if you want to come get it and rebuild that one. I can ask if you want.
