need some advice
right now im stuck between a rock and a hard place.
i have 2 decisions
i can go with a cammed 355 tpi engine for free but needs to be rebuilt. im selling the tpi intake and wiring to fix the rest of engine
or
i could give this guy the tpi engine for a 5.3 liter ls1 engine and still owe him 250
plus ill need an fbody intake and all the other stuff to turn my car into an ls swap car.
can someone who knows what there doing tell me what to do???
right now my car has the entire front end pulled off with a 305 cracked block and its a sitting duck until i find out what to do

Re: need some advice
If your car is already tpi the take the 355, get the correct prom and drop it in. There are a lot of unseen costs with the ls motor. With the 355 you will be able to reuse almost everything you currently have besides the knock sensor.
