Motor swap is most likely comin in the next year and i want to start buying parts....just wanted you guys opinions on whether i should go LS1 or stroke/supercharge what i got.....i definitely like the gas mileage on the ls1 better (i have to pull a boat), but id probably have to pay someone to do the swap ($$$$)
Do a LQ9 6.0L iron block build it up. Stock you can get 345 HP built up properly you can go to 400 plus, or go a 5.3L or 6.0L LQ4 and put a turbo on it or a supercharger I know 500 horses is what you really need. A built 6.0L and A turbo or supercharger is the way to go. This is just my opinion.
GOOD LUCK!

if all u want is around 400 horses go with an lq9. if u want more go with a blown lq4. ls1 would be great as well, haha its a win win situation for u! what transmission r u using with the swap?
ill probably buy the motor and trans together....the wiring and electronic stuff scares me, and im not looking forward to paying someone.....500 horses would be sweet...

It should not be that hard to complete the swap. I've been researching the same thing, and the hardest part I have found is the A/C, the frame has to be notched for the compressor (Not a problem for me… My a/c doesn’t work). As for the wiring, there are a few companies you can send the harness to have it modified to fit your application.
ps. You could look up www.VortecSierraswap.com, which is where I have gotten alot of my info.
