Default Build or swap?

My brother is jut about to but a low milage, bone stock, corvette c5 z06. He's got money. Hes offering me the ls6 for free. I'm thinking to swap it into the Jag, and probably turbo that *******. I'm looking to be in the 600 hp range. Doing this would probably do that. Out of respect, I'm not going to sell the ls6, and use the money to build my 4.2. So I was wondering if I should do this swap, or just build this Jag engine which has 65k miles. What do you guys think?

Ide do it, but what are your annual car inspections like.
And you really need the harness and ecu, but contact painless wireing they sell standalone wiring kits and ecus for swaps. Personally i think youde be way better off to put that engine in your newly purchased 1st gen camaro or chevelle
trying to marry everything from instrument pack to abs, trans etc will be at least a year long project and thats optimistic
