We've talked about the m56 a few times and it could be a good option. Ultimately its personal preference and more importantly fitment. I know the LSX motors will fit in the 350s but not sure if these bigger OHC v8s will fit.

As far as the vr38... that becomes pretty damn expensive, and, well, if you want a v8 its obviously not on the list. Anyone have an idea what a crate vr38dett runs? I'm guessing an arm and a leg.
