Need opinions and advice on setup
You can see my current setup in my sig. Basically lsvtec on bottle. Would it be worth it and could I get enough money from selling my longblock, switching to an ls, and then going turbo?

id swap out the pistons or put a thick headgasket on it and call it a day. i know that i wouldnt want to go through the hassle of taking the engine out, than trying to find a buyer, than having to find another engine. than putting it in....
if i were in your shoes. this is what id do
thicker headgasket to lower the compresion
sell the nitrous
buy a turbo kit or custom build your own kit..
ls/vtec is much better than a plain old ls engine.

I agree, get a head gasket to lower the compression down to a boost friendly 8.5:1 or even 9.0:1 would work.
It all depends on what the car is sued for really.
