Which Motor would you use?
Ok so here's the deal. I bought a 04 GTO with a LS1 and T56 that was wrecked, but still able to drive. It has 106k miles, and runs like a top. You can tell that it was very well taken care of. I just bought a 2001 LS1 from a Vette with 32k miles on it yesterday because it was way too good of a deal to pass up. I don't know the guy I bought the Vette motor from, but I seen the Vette, and they took this out to put a LS3 in it. I don't know anything other than that about the Vette motor. I'm putting this into a 67 Camaro. So do I put the GTO in with 106k miles, or do I use the Vette motor with 32k miles???

I'd do the low mileage one and if there's a problem you have a backup

You could also sell the GTO to fund performance mods to the Vette motor, ie intake, head porting etc. Definitely install the lower mileage motor.
Big dreams, small pockets....
