Finding a rebuildable 455 around me, North Alabama, runs 1200-2000 so that pays for the turbo sticking with what I have in the 400. Either engine choice will get an aftermarket EFI system. I am working on my pro's-con's list now for which setup will meet my end goal.
Aftermarket efi setup will run you at minimum 2,000.00 pump to injectors by the time it's running regardless of LS or Pontiac power. You need to consider that in your pro-con list
