Got a question for anyone who wants top respond.

Thinking engines for the future and not sure what to go with. I have a good 5L sitting here which I am considering putting in, or my other choice is an LS1.
I will probably be looking at getting more power out of them in the end, maybe forced induction so just wondering what the best option would be.

Do I stick the 5l in, or sell it and get an LS1, or do something else?

Thanks for the input.
I don't really care about originality on this, after all it's not like it's collectible or anything. All options are still good, although I like the idea of a carby LS1.

And looking around at prices, they all all round the same for a stock engine, and considering I don't have that kind of cash sitting around yet I might just chuck in the 5L and Auto for now with all the EFI gear so I can get it moving. Then down the track upgrade to an LS1 of some description, should be an easy enough upgrade from a 5L I reckon.

Once i've finished the Caprice wagon, the engine/EFI gear is going to slowly find it's way into the Impala. May even be able to do it before the end of the year.
