Damn you, all the other motors look like crap now. I'm never gonna get this swap finished. 
Hoping to start pulling the motor this weekend, fixing it, and selling it. Depends on what the weather is like.

Anyway, first option, built mach performance 4.3. Runs on pump gas, bowtie block and heads, yada yada yada. 375hp 450tq. $4000
Second option. Built 4.3, 12:1 compression runs on race gas. Estimated at 400hp 500tq. $3000
Third option, LS1. Would build the motor single turbo, and numerous LS6 parts. $3-$5000
Fourth option 400 small block. Slightly built, 400hp. $3500
All options will include new diff and tranny more than likely, just need to choose whether I want 6 speed or not.

Got the LS-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Motor is completely bone stock. It's got 30,000 miles and was broken in properly. I've got the 6 speed tranny and ecu also. Now I just need to get a descent driveshaft, axels, and a strong diff and I'm set. I cleaned up the motor today, figured id do it before the install. So it looks brand new. Does anyone on the boards make badges for cars? I'd like to get a S5 badge made or a ZO10 badge. Let me know.

I still wanna see BoostFed95Z's ride. I LOVE camaros/firebirds/trans ams.
