Looking to LS swap my c4 need advice

[1red85vette]

Hi, I have an 85 with the 700r4. My transmission is in bad shape and will have to be rebuilt. I was wondering if it would an overwhelming amount of work to lm7 swap it with an electronic trans? I always hated the idea of ls swapping something with a 350 but I think that would be the best option. Makes more sense to me because I’ll have more all around power, not just low end torque. Let me know PLEASE what you guys think. How much would it cost to either buy a used engine or buy a block and do a stock rebuild. I want to do this because of reliability and the little more power. Thanks

You asked, so part out the 85 save up some $ & move up to a early C5. Prices are dropping quite a bit.
