apparently it cant be forced induction as its going to be registered in QLD (Cant be over 411ci or forced induction??).
Still not sure where the OP got his information from, as i didnt think there was a "size" or "induction" law? Could be wrong.... might be something to do with retrofitting to a VL (Although it does seem strange as the VL did come out with a turbo as factory)
L98 is the best engine... although for the $10k budget the OP was working with (As posted on LS1) it might be a little expensive. $6k for the create motor, $3k for the gearbox and then whatever ECU costs doesnt leave much for Cam + work.
Perhaps a second hand LS2 (or purchase a wrecked car and do a transplant?)
You should be able to get a second hand LS1 and gearbox for $4-5k. With a very large cam, exhaust, MAFless tune, and perhaps some head work you might get 300rwkw. To get to 380rwkw your going to need a stroker kit (which is out of budget) or go forced induction.
You might get lucky on the LS1 forum and pickup a 383 stroked LS1. Still, 380rwkw on a N/A engine is going to be pretty tricky (well more the point, an engine with that level of power and a gearbox/wiring to suit is going to blow a $10k budget)
