Default Chevelle Buildup LS6 or L92?

I have already purchased a 2008 L92 that I was planning on swapping to an LS3 and the setup has 10,000 miles on it. However I haven't pickedup the motor yet and the guy I'm buying it from just came across a 2004 LS6 with 25,000 miles and the T56 complete with all harness and accessories from a Z06

This will cost me about the same.

Which one would you go with and why?

Before you decide I have already purchased all the accessories, clutch package and hydrolics for the clutch which I would have to sell. I also have a custom TX Speed cam on the way.

Thanks

70 Chevelle and LS6 are meant to be together even if its not the big block version.

No replacement for displacement not to mention better cylinder heads plus the fact that the L92 has the potential to make more power! Pass on the LS6.

I was doing a search and I saw a Caddy with the LS6 with Dual overhead cams. How is that possible?

X 100 get the 6.2, options are abundant you will spend more money trying to get that LS6 to perform up to the base power that the 6.2 will produce.....

I say get them both and use the LS6. Let the L92 sit about a month. Get in a HUGE fight with your wife. Then while she is still PISSED at you, she'll sell me the L92 for $100.00.
