im also thinking its a good idea to get an ls2 timing chain, ls6 oil pump and maybe some sort of an intake manifold, would porting the stock ls1 manifold help? the lsx seems over priced to me. i also gotta get some custom made LTs to fit around the steering shaft on my s10. anything else i should look into?

ya both the cam and head packages each came with springs and they would def be PRC or patriot golds. im starting to get all my ducks in a row so to speak. im hoping to have atleast a block in my garage this fall.

i havent decided yet. my plan so far is to drop a stock ls1 in it this winter then next winter to do the cam/head package. if i can find a cheap long block i might go ahead and do the build up. i thought abotu getting a forged short block from speed inc, but its 3k which isnt bad in all actuality but i dont think i need forged, im only shooting for 450-500 at the wheels

so wat ya think should i jsut find a long block with a decent rotating assembly on it then get some ls6 head, intake manifold and a magicstick? i was gonna get a ls2 timing chaing and oil pump anyway.
If you go with some nice heads and the MS3....this is all depending on your drivetrain...you will probably be deep into the 400rwhp mark. And yes, there is always nitrous. 
Forged shortblock = around $4k (with the good stuff)
Heads and cam = $2,500 (and of course....the good stuff)
So $6,500 for a complete built longblock vs. stock longblock for around $4k or less.
