Well the best bang for the buck is the ls1, and if you are going efi, and will be wiring the car, id do it once.
But thats just imo.
The potential of the ls1s with mods is well above that of the lt1s...
If you are going to set up the car, might as well do it once

Dont discriminate against the cheaper truck motors you might find...
Im doing my 62 Chevy II Lsx conversion with a 5.3 for now, and ill move up to something bigger later.
Dont limit what youre looking for...
5.3, 5.7, 6.0 all good choices.
