LSx bang for your buck. Whats the best value?

[slowcpe]

I'm building a similar setup now. Here's the numbers I have (so far):

50k mile LQ4, 4L80e, computer, wiring harness and most accessories $1500 (a GREAT deal in my area)

243 truck heads w/8k miles $350

BTR valve springs, trunion upgrade, lifters, push rods, oil pump, timing chain $800 (approx)

BTR cam (haven't decided but probably Stage 3) $400

If I went this route about $800 for a good converter (but I have since sold the 4L80e in place of a T56)

Need for 400-450 whp: larger injectors, headers, mill heads, port heads (maybe), intake (mainly for looks), and finish off accessories.

Add all that up and a 6.2 might make sense if you don't want to fool with heads/cam or keep the 6.0 shortblock and add the L92 top-end setup. I personally would consider the latter but I've accumulated too much stuff already to stray from the cathedral setup.
