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?

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

thats a negative on the nitrous lol. wat do u think the cost would be for a shortblock then doing the head/cam swap vs long block and finishing it up.
