Thats a lot of miles, all depends on what shape the motors in and what you can afford...id probably go for the rebuild and start fresh

Do the cam. It sounds like you have the money to rebuild so put a big cam in it and when your ls1 blows use the cam in the stroker motor if its still in good shape.
