My choices aren't up there.
3800 Series II from a mid 95 to 02 Camaro or Firebird with at least one turbo.
GMC 478 V6
Cadillac 500 big block V8
3.5 V6
Northstar 4.6 V8
Chevy LT1
Chevy LT5
Maybe one of these.

I like the idea of the L36 myself in all honesty. Not only is it 205HP out of the box, it is just shy of the V8 numbers of the time.
I would not do a 4.3 Vortec. Too utilitarian in my opinion. Too much torque, too hard to handle teaching someone to drive stick. Great motor for a Jeep swap though
L36 also lends itself to topswaps later on down the line, and that doesn't even count what Intense has to say about all this

IMO rebuilding a 2.8 is like trying to make a hooker a nun. Very efficient engine but when it time to say goodbye, do it.
