6l80vs6l90 I have a dilemma

I’ve got a bit of a struggle going on in my head. Within the next few years I plan to turbo my car. I’m shooting for 650-700+ at the wheels. At this point I’m wanting to pay the balance due on the car down more while I gather the parts a little at a time (suspension mods included). With that said I’ve already got a truck 6l90 with less than 100,000 on it that I had been thinking about converting over to the camaro tail housing and tail shaft. When I do the mods my plan was to have the 6l90 freshened up and install it. The problem is I got to looking at how much just the cores on these things go for let alone functional units, and it made me think I could sell the tranny and cover some of the mods I want to do. Would I be better off to just build the 80 that’s in it and sell the 90 or the other way around? I don’t see my self going Much over 7-750 ever, but we all know how that goes. I’ve already had offers for the tranny (which I got for free, long story I’m a parts hoarder) from $850-1000. That would near cover the cost of the cam swap or suspension mods alone. I’m budget building it as I go like most on here do. Any suggestions?
