I would drop in an Lq4/9.

Good price for a complete car.

I think it will be cheaper to drop in a lq4 shortblock than to have it rebuilt.

I second this.

Find a low mile and lq4/9 throw it in there and it will hold that 175 shot no problem.

I believe it is just a very basic swap although i do not know everything involved it should bolt right in like an ls1 would. The lq4/9 will be stronger, make more power, and have better mod potential then a ls1.

Rebuild the LS1, put it in your 3rd gen. Part out the 4th gen and it will pay for your swap!!!!

you should switch that around. The thirdgen is more valuable imo and is much harder to replace. Only reason I say this is because it's a 92 z28 and all the 91-92 z's are becoming near impossible to find in good condition..
