I have not bought an engine yet! I am just sitting back reading the responses and trying to figure it all out! I want to thank everyone for their comments…I have learned a lot and the debate continues…

Bottom line is if your are trying yo make your car handle well
(This is Lateral-G.net) not "Modern Pro Street.org" then you
have to get weight out of the bow of your boat.

A small block with aluminum heads is as heavy as you want to be going.
A 502 is cool for some but heavy.

I went LS7 for cubes and less weight.

I've actually had 2 of the motors in a camaro. The LS7 is by far the best, not even close. No BS. Like a Yugo and a Ferrari - seriously. Mileage, weight, reliability, no overheating iussues, power, resale, all favor the LS7.

So what engine did you decide on?

I went with an LS3 (565hp) from Turnkey Engine Supply. I posted a few pictures below. I will be shipping the car to Prodigy Customs next week to have Frank and crew finish the electrical, plumbing and interior.
