if the LT and LS are the same price, get the LS. You'll spend slightly more putting it in, but it will be worth it. Don't forget though, its going to cost you at least $1000 over the cost of the engine to get it in and running. Don't think just because you have enough to buy the engine/trans you'll be running in no time.
