Default LS engine options

Hi guys,
Looking to go the LS route with my 67 Nova. I'm going to be doing a T56 Swap at the same time.

Options:
Looked at Wegner and Don Hardey so far they are roughly the same price for the 416 (620ish hp) motor. The thing I like about them estically is they use the Wegner front drive setup, Holley single plane with throttle body and Holley efi.

I really don't want to go the plastic intake route I want it to look like an old car.

Any other builders I should look into?

Mast and Lingenfelter are both popular, and given the conversations I've seen/heard, they stand behind their products pretty strongly (in other words, they know what happens when you race). There are tons of good crate setups out there, including the GM PowerParts stuff that many guys on here have used. You would of course have to source your own TB-style intake that way . . .

For some odd reason, I like the big plastic box sitting in my car's engine compartment. It barely fits under the hood, and it so isn't supposed to be there . . .

Chevrolet! Check out the LS3 connect and cruise kit. You can buy that front drive separately and get rid of that plastic intake for the look you want. Good luck!
