I really favor the ls series motors. They make great power. If you can afford it I would suggest a ls based motor.

If your thinking of any kind of internal modifications for the LS1 and can afford it now do it before the motor goes in. Will save you some time and money.

How much do you want to spend? I would probably rebuilt the motor you have. Forge the motor and turbo it.
