Default Crate Motors: LSX376 or LS3 6.2?

So i bought a 2001 T/A with high miles for dirt cheap. I'm building a fast daily driver, i have completely rebuilt the suspension and tranny, recovered the interior, and now am ready for a new crate motor. Do i go with the LSX376 or buy the LS3? They are both about the same price and i have about 10 or 15 grand to spend.

Build a 402 LS2 to keep the weight down over the nose if you are wanting to maintain your handling. Otherwise save some $$ and build an iron block. You can get a bullet forged block topped with some TFS or AFR heads for way less $$$ that will punch those motors in the nose.

Erik at sponsor HKE on here is as good as it gets and will build my next motor. I suggest you contact by email and let him know exactly what you want. You can upgrade heads over his long block for the money you have and still easily be under 10K.

What are your goals for the car E/T and power wise. I'm sure that no matter what they are, you can let one of the board sponsors put something together for you for much cheaper that will make more power.
