Swap Question (L98/LT1)

Hmmm...well do to my inexperience i have decided not to go with the ls1 swap. However , i know a fe people that are really good with the l98 motor and tpi and have a chance to get a motor for pretty cheap. But i can also get an lt1 for only 200 more(900 and 1100). My question is which would be a better swap. I currntly have an 89 carbed camaro(no computer stuff it was all taken out by the last owner). I know for an lt1 u can get a cam and head job and put down nearly 350rwhp. But my question is how hard would this be to do w/ an l98. I know the intake needs replacement but heads, cam and intake done can 350-360rwhp be obtainable? How is the gas milage for a modded 350rwhp L98?

I would probaly go with the LT1 but I don't have all the facts, you do. Like what is the mileage? What were they out of?

With new heads and cam on either motor you could make more than 350 rwhp, just depends on what you want.
