LS1 or not LS1

I'm looking at putting a V8 in my FC and I can't decide on a fuel injected LS1 or carbed 350. I know the fuel injected LS1 would be more complicated of an install and more expensive for the power, but is the aluminum block and fuel injection worth it?

Thanks

If you have the money, go with an LS1. The 350 is still a very good motor though.

LS1 is not complicated install by any means compared to a carbed 350.
maybe sending out the harness and computer for work is more money and time but its only more complicated if you DIY those two things.

LS1 for sure. lightweight. low miles. modern. reliable. beefy. SIXSPEED!

the way things are now, the much better gas mileage of the LS1 will probably make up the price difference in a year or so :-S

Hmm, good point. However I didn't intend to drive it most of the week, but still something to think about. Thanks.
