thanks for all replies. At this point in time, the LS is pretty much stock with less than 90k on it. I am gathering the pieces to make it run: water pump, timing belt, dizzy, mounts, spark plugs and other miscellaneous parts. I have purchased the p30 pistons so whenever i get those, i'll put them in. I have agsr tranny with a 3rd gear to rebuild. Once all that is done and ready, I'll swap the y8 for the LS and be happy.
Then, as many here have mentionned, the money from the y8 will help compensate the current expenses and start the turbo + tune fund.
COnsidering it's quite a bit of money and i don't have a job, that may take some time, but I'll try to be patient I may build or change some OEM parts before i boost in order to try and keep the motor reliable. at that time, probablt take out the p30's and put the stock ones back since, all stock, apparently the LS is indeed pretty close to ideal for boost

its a project hopefully will be done in a couple of months...
