Lol, add boost and all the drivetrain stuff has to be beefed up, I am shooting for a 2900 pound curb weight. And realistically you are looking at at least a year or two before it will be ready for the engine. Starting at the tailpipes and going forward, same way I did the T/A. Only other hassle will be the Y-pipe for an LSX, pretty much have the rest covered

You say that but the Y-pipe has proven to be a PITA for alot of swappers with the position of the torque arm/subframe. There is no room on the driver side. Plus I need to keep Cats in it to pass inspection so I was just thinking of modifying the magnaflow dual cat Y pipe and adjusting the length and flanges to fit the LSX manifolds, but that is a LONG way off still. rear axle will be hurdle #1

You can pretty much have any rod/piston combo made for not much than off the shelf parts.I've got a forged 4.8L sitting at my house that we had to custom order pistons/rods for about 6 years ago.

Sounds like a cool idea, 3rd gen looks and Corvette performance.

But realistically to GET to the point where it is time to put an engine is a long way off since I don't even have a car yet. And if I take this Formula the car still has to be finished before I go doing an engine swap. No desire to go with the engine upgrade and have a car with a bunch of broken parts all the time. Going to start at the back and work forward so the rear axle is gonna be step 1 after I do some rust prevention
