All good points. A fresh 5.3 LS swap is a $5000+ price tag half being the T56. Fresh LT1 is maybe $1500 and I have spare T5 and it all bolts up to existing mounts.

Im just window shopping ideas. I may go ahead and go with the LS Im building. Still needs a list of items to buy and sort out. I haven’t decided. Thanks for the advice and opinions.
