I have been back and forth but I finally decided to go with the L31 even though I would like the LS.
This exactly the thing I have considered. All the Electronic upgrades to make it nice and feasible does not add up to any cost savings.

Now if I can take an LS block and do it old school carbonated without the ECU is something I have considered.
