Pistons were to be replaced anyway, and 109k on the block doesn't mean much since all internals are being replaced anyway. As long as the block isn't compromised, I think I may do it.

$300 seems like a worthwhile expenditure as I've seen LS1 cam only cars with bolt ons (Z28c4maro82z) putting out 420whp/390wtrq. Hell, I've seen LS1 cars with mild mods running low 12's, high 11's on a stock block. From what I've been finding in my research, LT1's built and with FI are putting out maybe 460whp. It just seems like the LS1 would be easier to get to the numbers I want, although more of a pain in the ass to get into the 3rd gen.
