Default 1993 camaro z28

i have i couple of questions that i think some of you guys could answer.

i have a 93 z28 auto that i would like to change to a t56. how much work is that and is it hard. how hard is it to find a good t56 and how much do they cost.
how much would it cost to do a 383 stoker. including heads and cam. i was thinking of going with le2 heads and one of his cams.

i am in the army stationed in south korea and will have about 10k to spend when i come back to the states and i am trying to choose in upgradeing the 93 or buying a 2000 ss m6.

so let me what you think.

all and all it'd probably be better to buy the '00 with the m6 already in it and start building that car.

Most if not all of that 10k will be spent if you did everything listed. If you bought everything new and did it the right way

EBAY! The motor can be had starting at 3,000 there is a builder on ebay with a good rep. and easy ordering and pricing. IMO..sell the 93 put it with the cash by a 99+ manual f-body what ever . for around 7-8 k and start there, unless you are addicted to the lt1 like us.

Well I think my best option would buy a 00' as or z28 m6 car. I really like my lt1 so I will try and keep it. It might be a full race car.
