I say build up the LT1...Your car is already setup for it for one, and it will cost you less in the long run and also the 5 head bolts will allow you to hold a little more psi without trying to lift the heads.

sounds fine to me...Do some reSEARCH on different combos so you can get an idea of how much power you want, and then from there decide on what setup you think will make you happy.
