Default Decisions, decisions....

Well,
I've been comptimplating a new engine build for a while now. But I haven't decided what way Im gonna go. SBC, LS1, or build another LT1. The engine in the car now will be coming out and going into a truck. Whatever I build, it'll be built on a budget.

So what are yalls suggestions??

get a lq9 longblock, put a cam in it and put some 243 heads on. low budget- better rod bolts and head studs and then spray a 150 on top with proper fuel and it would be dam fast for what you would have in it. you can even go carb if money is tight.
