Sprink58 I'm really thinking about an LS as well. I have a c6 Vette with a blower and I love it!! I'm trying to come up with a complete list of everything that needs to be done for the LS swap. I Need to do some additional searching.

Just ask your builder about how much it would be to build a 496 stroker, you might be pleasantly surprised. Ask him if he will take your rotating assembly to help offset some cost or sell it in the swap shop.

I can get a deal on an LS1 with very low miles, the computer and harness for $1200. I think I'm going to go this direction. Do you guys see many deals on used blowers for this setup?

Do yourself a favor and buy a GM 425hp 454 crate motor I have used a bunch of them in a boats. Think about $5600.00 and sell all your old stuff.
