I like aluminum blocks so I would look at a lot of those to see if I could do that. The LQ4 and LQ9 do give you more displacement for less dough though.

how do you figure an ls1 will give you more power than a 6.0? you can find a decent mileage lq4 or lq9 cheaper than an ls1 and make more power. iron block all the way...put a good bottom end in it with a nice set of heads and boost the hell out of it!

I'm aware it was a typo, I just wasn't sure what you meant to type. Is the LS1 the only engine you could find under 100k?
