An LS1 is the untimate plateform for a road race motor and is 100% reliable. An ls1 can be had for about $2000 turn key. Headers are $500, Motor mounts are $100, and an electric fuel pump is needed for $150 bucks. The stock fuel system can be retained if the rails from a 97 vette are used, they allow for a returnless fuel system.
A sbc build will be that much and would never be as good of a platform. Agree or disagree, that is my $.02!
