If built, there isn't much difference between those besides the few cubic inches in size.

If stock, the LS2 has a broader power curve and more potential for upgrades down the road (think LS3 stuff).

that 4" bore is a torque monster, and has the potential to be a 402 later in life!

I would go with the LS2 because it has a lot more potential for builds later on down the road. 402s with nitrous make for a fun car!

Definitely LS2.

You can have an "LS6" with just heads/cam/intake swap...
