which motor for budget nitrous build

i am going to build a budget nitrous race can fox mustang . I have a new donated coan turbo 400 with brake with all the goodies and an ATI boost 3600 converter so far. I am going to pick up a solid 87-92 fox, roll bar it for 9.99 cert and run an NX nitrous system on a truck base LS motor. Which one should i go with? LQ9 or L92 ? Iron block would be ideal and what would a used one of these go for? This would get a 150 and higher shot of spray.

thanks everyone

Ive always been a fan of the 5.3 myself.

Really depends what your "goals" are.

Boost motors can make great nitrous motors, lower compression doesn't necessarily mean it wont work with nitrous... But I understand if you need to sell. But hey, I'll trade you a cammed LS1 long block for your LS2 short block... hahahaha.. Nice build too, VRX2 cam, high quality Comp lifters, pushrods, and Springs W/Ti retainers... made 400 to the tire, and drives excellent. My long block (minus Intake/TB), for your short block... just throwing it out there.
