Are you tracking the car?
Do you have any rules that you need to abide by?
Is this more of a fun street car?

Not tracking, just commuting, but want more and looking at the spend outlay pretty closely being I have to get my car back on the road.
Rules, I live in smog country, pretty sure that's a yes.
Yes, still a fun street car. LS3/T56 would be my top level entry, namely for aluminum block and the transmission. I'd prefer higher winding engine to match the current car rev range like a 5.3, but it becomes a big mix of parts after that. Prefer an aluminum short block over an iron one regardless of donor for weight.
Asking conversion outfitters what the best donors are and such. I understand there are some accessory format issues and I want to keep my air conditioning. Drive train change fitment parts are out there.
Engine/trans pkg before conversion parts, about 6-9k via corvette/camaro 2010-15 range seems to be the norm. Then conversion parts, 5-10k. Ball park looks so far. Looking at Sikky and Vorschlag for reference. Not much else out there I can find yet. And I haven't done the part by part detail yet either. Looking for the best donor material.
