Snkbte,
as you can see the dark side has practically taken over. I tossed the engine choices around for quite a while before finally deciding on a 5.0L. As we probably are all aware, youd be hard pressed to go passed the LS1, they have practically everything you could want and more. The guy whos building my motor was installing a kit from the USA to convert the LS1 to a 427. He told me there would be no external alterations when completed. It doesnt get any better than that. In the end I chose Ford because they were originally built with Ford motors, and the look of the motor goes more in keeping with a car of that era. If these things dont concern you then an LS1 is a perfect choice.
Regards.
