Default '95 formula: LS1 swap, or LT1 rebuild?

I'm at a crossroad with my formula.

rebuild the LT1 that I have a bunch of parts poured in to (cam/valvetrain, LT's, EWP, TB, injectors, CAI, etc)

or pull it out and drop in the LQ4 I have laying in the garage. complete with harness and computer, coils, sensors, etc...

if the LT1 stays in the formula, the LQ4 is going in my '02 silverado, and the 5.3 from it is going in my '94 silverado.

if not, the LT1 is going in the '94, and the '02 is staying the way it is while the formula gets a truck 6.0

I would put the LQ motor in the car simply bc its a newer style motor with an abundant amount of really nice parts available from the aftermarket. Although I don't know what all is available for the LT1 cars.

The real question is what do you want out of your car? Is a cammed lt1 with 350rwhp good enough for you?
