Go for it.

LS-1 swap is cheap power upgrade for any C4.
Tons of aftermarket power adding goodies New & used to shop from.

Brodix Makes Killer heads & Carbed intakes for an LS-1 based engine.

Edelbrock makes more street friendly power packages and parts separate for that LS-1 style engine too.

Remove that L98 and sell it to a street rodder.
You will recover most of your cost $$ buying that LS-1 powerplant.
