why not buy a a slightly used 5.3 LM7 outta a newer SUV or pickup?? They are just a smaller bore LS1 with a cast block. You can buy these DIRT cheap, like under $1k cheap. If you want to, you can bore it out and run ls1 pistons and you have a cast iron 5.7 for pennys. Then you get all the aftermarket support of the LSx motors without the upfront cost of the aluminum block motors. This is by and far the most cost effective way to go IMO and FYI I am going this route as well since I plan to boost my motor and like the strength of a cast block.

Sent you a PM, Dusterbd13. I'd love to discuss it more. If you could do a little screamer like this for $2008 it would be totally killer. Id already have it started if I had $2008, some spare time, and a spare garage bay.
