Well as to the value I've already put about 15k into the car it still isn't running. Then another 5k after I bought it and it still isn't running. Then the interest on the loan, plus this frustration. The only value I'm going to get with this car is enjoying it once its working, not selling it. I'm seeing carbed long block sbc 350s making over 350 h/p for about $1500. Cut the hood make a hood scoop...whats left, the automatic trans wouldn't bolt up to a sbc?
The search didn't bring up anything when I clicked the link, and I usually do search, last time I found a few things on it, but not many threads from guys who did it and liked it, or did it and explained how.

Gotta take the whole car, but what the heck it's got a rebuilt LT1.
Bet you can get it for a lot less than is being asked.
Found This one too..for $1200.
High mileage(118,000) but if you could get it for a grand you'd have your block, and then some..

If everything you have said is true just go get your money back.
You are lining your self up for five years of **** assuming you are telling the truth.
Why don't you listen to people that have been there thousands of times before?
If you want to persevere good luck.

I TOLD YOU A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK WHAT TO DO.How can people be so dumb unless of course this is a wind up.Having seen the pix I tend to believe you. A dealer-with a motor traders license I presume,sold you a vehicle with emmissions devices removed.

before you totally ruin this 96, place a call to Jason at www.vette2vette.com.
Putting a carb on that car will cause nothing but a hornets nest of problems. You have no idea what you are getting into. Engine controllers, CCM, brakes/asr... you name it. It would be easier to transplant your heart with a baboons.
Whatever you do, forget you even asked about this. it's beyond foolish.

Hay come on guy's its his car!! But before you hack up the car I will trade you for my 94 LT1 .
If you realy want a carbed corvette, I will sell you my other one 86.
Both cars are in my sig
If you need an LT1 with forged pistons,rods and crank and nitrous cam in it ,hydrolic I will sell you mine.If you just need a LT1 block with splade main caps all you have to do is pay shipping and the block is yours ,it does need a line bore.
I am not against you, I just hate to see the car cut up.
Resale value aside,it just makes no sense you will have 20k in the car putting a carbed engine in it to get it the way you want.Put it all down on paper and figure it all out ,don't make rash decissions.

Lemme see, $15000 + $5000 + 1500+ = $3500. Yeah I'd say fubar about covers it!
By the way, if you can figure out how to make that car (OBD2) pass emissions with a carb, write a book and you'll be able to retire. What do carbs and cracked blocks have in common, (hint, NOTHING!) Sell the car for $5000 and consider yourself at least $1500 ahead! Seriously! I'm really not trying to be mean.

You'll need to reuse the damper and timing cover from your '96 (OBDII crank sensor and pickup for one, and the damper is different between Camaro and Corvette). The fuel rail will have to be swapped over, as will the ICM, accessory drive, etc., but the long blocks are basically the same.

In retrospect, my OP was probably poorly written, but the point is, it sounds like you are in way over you're head on this, and the fix is probably more expensive than starting over. In economics, they call the concept "sunk costs"; what you've spent is largely irrelevent to future expenditure decisions. From what you describe, the car sounds like a $10k-$12k car running correctly, and unless you do all of your own work, it will probably cost that much to get it there. JMO, but I've re-built these kind of cars for twenty years. Good luck.

Then, again, there's always this option:
Straight out of my 96 LT1 and runs great. Just swap over your sensors, etc. and drop it in. A full listing of what comes with it is posted on the Parts For Sale board.
