haha, money is no object, and every point you make is completely valid. I just found a built 4l80e for $1,600 including converter and think it's an okay deal, would definetly handle a gen III/IV power, even with a supercharger. As far as my project goes/has gone, money has never been an object, I'm in no real rush to get it on the road as long as it comes out exactly the way I want it, I'm expecting 3 more years until completion, but my job lately has picked up a lot and money has consequently been coming in at a higher pace, which is good, cause now I can afford to get this whole drivetrain done.
as far as an LS1 versus an LS2, The LS2 would just be neater, and I know it's drive-by-wire so it would need the corvette harness, plus tuning would be major, I'd need a specialty shop such as Katech or Lingenfelter or someone across country who knows what they're doing with these engines. My current engine builder is JUST getting into LS1's this year, and I wouldn't want to be a test bed for him to see what he can learn from. The LS1 could be a better way to go, but that's why I'm pitching this out here, I'd love to get into the new gen FI blocks and learn a ton more.
definetly tons of thanks so far guys, the info is really helping
