since this is the swap section ILL assume you want to stick that engine in a light weight car like a pinto, vega, camaro, corvette ETC, but you might not want to get too envolved with the engine it self at first, and you just want a decent running car with the LS series engine installed until you get the minor bugs worked out?

if its going to have an auto trans and keep the EFI you'll want this cam, as its a nice boost over stock,

if you swap to a carb and a manual transmission, and 3.54:1-4.11 rear gear then this

will be a killer upgrade, IM assuming you know edelbrock sells a carb intake and ignition conversion kit,for those engines

personally ID go with the carb and bigger cam here, in a light weight car even the 5.3 liter engine will be a nice swap.
