I just went through that same dilemma and decided Im most likely just going to order up a 402 and be done with it. The cost for a forged rebuild of my LS1 in a few of the shops around me was about $3400, or I can just order up a brand new LS2 402 for less than $1K more AND still keep my current motor and use that to help supplement the cost by parting it out or selling outright.

Thats the road I chose at least! Best of luck on your build
