The GoatBoat: 2006 Pontiac GTO

Good points, Scott. That's the good thing about this situation is that there is plenty of aftermarket support for the LS, motor rebuilds and ideas are abundant and it seems like there are new vendors everywhere I turn selling pretty nice builds. I've heard blueprintengines is good, I'll see what it's like. I think that the rebuild may be the cheapest option and if I do a cam upgrade and an ls3 swap i may be in it for less than 6 but until I open up the motor and see what this is going to take, I have no idea. The OCD and peace of mind in me says go for a newer motor but there is something alluring about doing a rebuild and learning through it. I'm still trying to get a good way to get the motor back to my garage. I'm such a newb at this, I'm googling ways to A hoist an engine and B safely transport it on the flatbed of a truck.
