I am usually a defender of the LT1s (having owned both) but it is hard to argue against the LS motors as cheap as they are getting. If all out power is not the goal 5.3s can make for a good budget build. With the 5.3 in, you're in a much better position if you ever want to go with a bigger LS based motor. Low mileage LT1s are also getting harder to find.
