Default $500 lq9 or put $500 into ls1

I have a 99 ss with 150k
Stock other than LT,s and ORY

Runs strong zero issue ...

Im gonna trade in my wife's 2004 Denali with 113k
Has a lq9 with 317 heads It runs strong no issues
Should I buy a junk yard 5.3 for,$500 and put it in the Denali before I trade in ...
Then drop the lq9 in the Camaro with a cam ..
Or should I just put my time and money into the ls1

Id just stick with the LS1 since there is only 37,000 miles difference between the LQ9 and LS1

No replacement for displacement . Also lq9 has a 4in bore so thats a reason id do it room to grow, if it was an lq4 id pass but an lq9 id do it .

Lol yeah 500 in the ls1. Also be heavier with the lq9 in there so that's a con.

Like JoeNova said it's a lot of work for what little you get in return. Obviously it's up to you though

Or just take out the lq9, put the 5.3 in. Then Sell the lq9. You'd have a better return rate if that's the case and you can put that into the LS-Juan. Plus whats your plan for the car anyways.
