Funny enough the car actually has an L98 with nitrous haha. Very weird swap imo

Go to the home page, like the first thing you see, then scroll up and down. You'll see all kinds of categories of what is here and what people have been talking about.
I see 283s seem to be making a small comeback or a 307 ci chevy sb with 283 pistons and shorter rods, and 416 or 193 heads medium camshaft and a 600 holly 4 barrel.(no edelbrocks)(no quadrajets)

if going the LS route I recommend buying a wrecked vehicle. So you have a motor,trans,wiring harness, all the connectors and clips and junk you need. Then part the car out when you are done. In my family we did 2 LS swaps for basically free after parting the cars out.
That had been my plan when I wanted to put an LSA in but prices had gone crazy for wrecked ones so I just stuck with a good sounding motor
Yeah I've never gone that route I just pieced together what I needed but I got the stuff for extremely cheap.
My thought it comes down to the time you want to invest in dealing with parting out a whole left over pile parts.

Since you ALREADY have a sbc in place.... just rebuild it with what you have in mind to do with it, going LS is like a time/money pit you will not enjoy unless you're up for the challenge.
Honestly.... if you're just lQQking for moderate power, mostly a street cruiser/bruiser, 383cid will fit the bill nicely, but if your intentions is for 1000HP, go LS, it will not be street friendly, i tell you that much.
You might want to brush up on what a 1000hp LS setup is. If I wanted to build one I could daily drive it to work. 5.3l with a couple of snails on it is all it would take. VERY street friendly.
