Yeah I understand that I do have a government contracted job we do support for the counties that use our software for well fare. We just got 35 more counties this year to total 39 and the state passed a bill saying that all counties must be using this software in the next couple years, so.... we are not short on work we are getting busier.

anyways if I find it I'll post a new thread.
But I def. pick the 75. No smog, which is a HUGE PLUS. Just throw a stroked 350 in it and one of those ebay TT kits(upgrade the turbos and BOV)
Thats my plan for my dad 89, but WAY down the line.

Cant go wrong either way.
Remember though that 500rwhp in a second gen is not as smooth as the ls1s and takes quite a bit of work and good(expensive)parts. But for sure, dont waste your time on a 383...you will have to find a 400 crank for it anyway just use a 400 block and you wont have to spend the extra $$$ on clearencing the block for the crank, plus you will hav the extra cubes and pretty much all the parts bolt right up.
I like the old cars too, ive lost interest in my 72 firebird but ive owned a 71 and 72 camaro and they are awesome cars.

hmm, i would toss some minor mods on the ls1 because you can always take them off and sell them if you need funding for a strip car or lose interest. Getting deep into a restoration/buildup will be much more costly and if you lose interest you will regret it. Unless you like it like a hobby to work on cars for most of your free time.

Yeah mine sounds good now but i do want headers. I may hold off on the 75 and get some rims tires and headers and ory, 8.44 1/8 time has got to be cut to a high 7 low 8.
Then maybe adjustable torque arm and adjustable rlcas, and mounting brackets for em, hey then maybe qa1's and drag springs.... LOL then have a 12 second flat stock car.... Hahahaha
