Default whats your thoughts ls1tech

goona pull my 98ls1 outta my z28 in a fewmonths, and for a while i wanted to keep my ls1 for sentimental reasons. plan on doing a 500 rwhp build. after thinking about it a little more, it would really cutdown on the camaros downtime if i had a long block right there to put in after i took the ls1 out. So my question is, is it worth it to buy an ls2 and have it pretty much assembled and just throw that in there? the 98 ls1 has the crappy pcv system, and has some oiling difficulties as we all know...im leaning towards the ls2

I have an ls2 block in my car now. I would go to the ls2 over ls1. More ci's then the ls1. my next build will be a ls3 block in to a 434ci or something.
