Which block would you use? OK, got a probelm, well not really a problem just need to make a decision lol. I currently have a 5.3 block with oil pan, 241 heads etc etc that I have been working on. I was planning on boring it out to 3.898 to accept LS1 pistons, putting some block filler in it and going to town with my twin turbo setup. I sitll need to get a camaro oil pan to fit my 69, get a pickup for it, and need coil packs. Well a buddy of mine is abandoning his project, and offered to sell me an LS1 block with mains, oil pan, and pickup, also including the coil packs with wiring harness for $300. Think I should use the LS1 block or stick with the iron? Yes the big answer is 6.0, but not right now, I have an experiment going with the 5.7 size. So..watcha think?

Ya, the motor had a bent rod but no other visible damage. He was going to rebuild the whole thing but scrapped the whole project in favor of a new car and is selling the rest off. I think my choice is obvious but wanted opinions. I'll pay near that price for just the pan/pickup and coils.
