Nothing against the LS1 or LSX engines, they just belong in a Chevy, not a Pontiac...........period. That is like inbreeding, not cool. If you must go with a 'corporate' engine, get rid of the Pontiac and buy you a Chevy.

JMHO and yes, I am biased...........I am a PONTIAC PURIST!

Good luck with your project/build.

You'll ruin your T/A by putting a Chevy in it. The 455 is the way to go. If you have or can get a 400, put a stroker in it for 455 ci.
