Is the LG4 any good? I'm trying to research what I'd like to get and what I already have to make good money/power decisions. Thanks for the help.

The engine leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not hard to make it a lot better...

I'd just drop in a 350 though. heh

Amongst 3rd gens. the LG4 is probably the second worst, the LO3 probably leads the list.

I was considering buying a 350 330HP with Vortec heads for $2100. I'm interested in the Vortec baseplate and intake stuff. I'm estimating maybe 350HP with all of the intake/exhaust stuff added on. Not really sure what kind of power I'd have, but it would at least be around 300 I'd imagine. Would this still be considered a good daily-driver car? I can't seem to find anything relating to fuel economy on the engine and such.
