As an example, I bought a really clean 96 LT1 with Crosa exhaust, 18" chrome Z06 wheels, upgraded aftermarket brakes (rotors, calipers, pads) and slightly less mileage for my son. Cost 10.5K
Depends.

The TPI has great torque in the lower rpms but it runs out of wind faster than the LT1. If finding a great deal is what you are looking for, then go with that. I personally would come up with a list of what you want for your Corvette, and then shop around after you've narrowed down the field.

Can't say if that's a GOOD price or not without knowing the condition of the car, how well it was maintained, etc.

the guy had the seats re upholestered in black leather. he barely drives it and it looks pretty clean.
I'm more wanting a Lt1 6 speed, and am actually considering a Ls1 6 speed F body's along with vette's. I used to own a 84 camaro and I would LOVE an ls1, just the vette's are spendy!!!
I'm just keeping my eyes open right now.
