You forget about suspension work, wheels and tires. Those also need to be upgraded for the car to run at factory stock ZLE pace. Altogether with labor of swapping an engine, brakes, dialing in etc. you are looking at $60K+ budget with car included at current prices. And after all that "playing around" it might be able to match the speed of ZLE, which you can get for $70K brand new right now and with track warranty. Tough choice I would say.
