    Unhappy

    I may be able to pick up one of these motors. If you had a choice which one would you get? What would be a good price on these motors?

    like i said in your other reply, oh no it begins,

    LS1 vs 6.0

    I would get the ls1, if you're not planning on big cubes, that'll be perfect. Get the ls6 block and stuff and with all your mods and N20, and a good trans, why wouldn't 11's be there?

    I just stick with the ls1 becuase it's performance oriented, the 6.0 is for lowerend torque and bigger cubes, which is badass, i think it just comes down to what you like,
    for example, a 6.0 will be just fine for my tahoe someday

    if you are going to buy new, go to shaun over at smcperformance.com you can't beat the price and customer service.


    later,

    another thing ya got to consider is where ya live. me i'm in PA and we have nothin but hills, so a motor with low end grunt is a must, especially in a heavier vehicle.
