If I had 12k to spend I would go with a LS. You get best of both worlds. Lighter weight,better mileage,more efficient. Its the way to go.

cammed LQ9/4l80E would set you back around $4K maybe a bit more, rear end complete rebuild, say 2K. anothe r2K for misc stuff you find you need/want when putting together.
This would get you around 500HP or so at the FW. plus would probably pull 18-20MPG on the highway

For $12k you build one hell of a big block. I had an alum headed 468 bout 550 horse for $6500. IIRC that included everything, buying the motor, parts, labor, etc.

I pieced it together. Bought the burb for the motor, heads from Scoggin Dickey, most other parts from Summit Racing. Had the motor put together by a shop in MD.
If you look around, you can find something pretty nasty for under $12k. Here is two.... http://www.competitionproducts.com/T...products/1615/
