A reasonable build job will run $7k. Are you a decent mechanic? A LS1 will cost about $7k in decent condition. It sounds as if you are not really familiar with these cars, get an LS1 and have fun.

yes you are right not familiar with these engines i used to own a lt1 long time ago when i was in high school 15 year ago

im asking because i can get a 5.3 engine with ls6 cam and ls6 intake and harness and ecu for 1500 and a ls1 just the engine for 1700 and a ls6 with harness and ecu for 3400 whats the best option. and how hard would it be to make it fit on my 70 rs camaro
