Default Newbie questions on build

New to the forum here. I sold my 66 Nova and decided to build a LS powered chevelle wagon. I have been following articles on the LS motor. I have a few questions though. I was planning on running carb because of no experience with fuel injection. I am thinking fuel injection now. I am thinking about building a twin turbo motor. Budget friendly. Use block and crank but purchase new rods and pistons. I have a 2005 LQ4 block. As everyone knows its a 24X crank and a three bolt 0x cam sprocket. My buddy gave me a LS3 intake manifold. I plan on using L92 or LS3 heads. My question is can I run a LS6 camshaft, a DBC throttle body and just find a LS1 or LS6 computer and engine harness? The other option was a LS9 cam but it looks like I need to run a front cover with cam sensor and 1X cam sprocket? I appreciate any insight. New to all of this use to deal with the just carbureted SBC and BBC stuff.

yes, to all.

You are understanding the possibilities correctly. Build wise, fix your budget, ad in for things you miss, choose your power, try to make them come true.

Once you go over 80lb injectors, things start getting alot more expensive.

1320 thanks for the reply! I try to research as much as possible then ask the questions instead of just saying tell me everything I need to do.
