His combo is an LQ9 6.0 with 243 heads. Fast 92 intake, Tick cam. He has 2k into it. Expecting to put down around 420 rwhp.
Ive got about half of that invested in my alum 5.3 but im running a turbo setup.
The other thing to consider is the ecu. We are both running holley hp efi which is great. My car is an 85 and his is a 67 so no etests. You could run a stock ecu and tune with hp tuners or bring it to champion and have kevin tune it.
Ill be honest and say i dont know if i would do the swap into a newer vehicle because of the potential etest nonsense.
