Default Hi From Montreal

Hi LS1Tech people!
For the past 5 years I've been rebuilding from the ground up what was a basket case '76 Corvette.
I've been documenting it on Corvette related forums (I'll provide a link if it's OK to do so).
It's gonna be a restomod that get inspiration as much from the '70s custom era than from the modern scene.
I already converted it to manual (T5 with HD case), so a LS based conversion seemed the natural way to go.
I already started reading the stickers, and taking notes.
My plan is to do a 'budget' conversion, trying to get as much smooth hps I can from a scrapyard iron block GenIII+.
Not fixed on 5.3l vs 6.0l yet, it's all about $$$.
So here I am, hoping to tap the best out of your brains and one day, be able to say "me too, I did a LS conversion".
Love, peace and V8.
