Not sure if I could swallow the fuel economy of a big block as a daily driver if it was my car.

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
