I'll probably go that route in the future with my
car. An LSx engine can make obscene power without losing hardly any driveability
or mileage.
What I really want to drop in my 69 Elky is a 93-95
LT5 cammer motor. I'm selling my custom Harley so I can start saving for one.
One of those with ported plenum and injector housings along with some custom
headers should easily make 475hp and still get 25mpg. You haven't lived till
you've heard one of these engines at 7,000rpm.

Borlas on a LS1 sound pretty cool too. I live in both worlds--LS1 6
speed in the C5 and 454s in both the Elky and 66. For cruising can't beat the
former--combined ~29 mpg between here (western Oregon), Yellowstone, and
back.
A buddy has successfully put LS series engines in gen 1 camaros, tri-fives,
and other prods from the General with great results and happy customers. Hard
to argue with, all things considered.

But the "Wow!" factor of opening the hood and seeing a big block is
hard to beat. Plus, there's no better sound than hearing the rumble of
a BBC. Just my humble opinion.
Besides, if it's a weekend toy what's an extra $5 to play?
