LS1 parts are no where near "cheap". When cams and lifters cost under 150 bucks, when headers cost under 300 bucks coated, etc etc...you get the point.
LS1's are not nearly as affordable as SBC's. SBC will continue to be the king engine.
True. I wasn't trying to say that LS1>SBC. The SBC will always be around because of how long it has been around and is a proven platform. Now on the other hand, that Gen III and up is all pretty much based off of the LS1. The way I look at it, if your building an old hot rod and don't want a carb set up, your going to end up with an LSx setup.
