455 Dan: my LS3 transplanted TA get far more interest than a Poncho powered Pontiac at a gathering.
I must have something wrong with me .

example "Overhaulin"

They open the hood on any Pontiac, Buick or Old's and a gleaming LS SBC between the frame rails.
Literally get a sinking feeling, feel ill.... especially any car that actually had a 400,401, 425, 428, 430 or 455 IN the car when they "took" it.

I should seek professional help,

Accepted Ponchos cost more to build than SBC.

I don't hate SBC's had a 9C1 police Caprice with LT1 and put 90000 on top of the 110 K it had when I got it. It was a Great running hiway cruiser. Never owned a new LS but am sure they run even better.
Will be watching with interest what the OP decides to do, and wish him a successful build of a 600+ HP power plant, regardless of what he choses, but I hope he chooses the Pontiac build.
