@ Rybar, thanks for the advice. I'd love a Mast black label motor, but that is too much for my first swap. Trying to decide between an LY6 with cam, ported stock heads and intake swap or the GM crate making 500+ HP w/ a 2 year warranty. Need to run the numbers. I can improve the intake, throttle body, headers, and cosmetics later. Doubling the HP will be fun!
Yep. It's a great idea to learn your car and/or get comfortable on an track of some kind with a lesser amount of power. IMO.

Your budget LS looks to be a pretty smart one.

YEP!!! Just ask Charley about the results of selling me a 590hp 3000 pound car...


Maybe I should have started out with a restrictor plate??
