EDIT
I almost have enough parts to stick in a 4.8L vortec, too far into that engine to just go buy a vette ls1.
I still need
Fuel system
Wiring Harness
And depending on the computer I use, I will need either
Tuning software/hardware

I have actually tried that, best offer I got was a trade where I had to add about 800$ for some 5-speed I was told was a TKO500. When in reality it was at best the original TKO.

I like the LS idea but what about getting a Lt1 harness and intake and fixing it back to stock? that will be easier and more cost effective. I really wish I lived near we could go to town on that thing and have you going in no time. Maybe you should start a new thread and call it "What are my options", someone might come up with a better Idea.

If you swap over to the 4.8 and keep it stock you don't have to have it tuned and a Fbody Ls harness is easy to convert and I can help with that.

To put the LT1 back to stock I would need
Optispark
Wiring Harness
ECM
Intake
Fuel rails
Sensors
And for good measure
Water Pump
and probably more
On the 4.8 I have already bought
LS1 intake
ECM
Exhaust manifolds
Complete Accessory system W/o belt
New Harmonic Balancer
Spark plugs & wires
engine mount adapters
RM6039? bell housing (works great on the LT1 for now)
Flywheel
Clutch (maybe)
And more I have probably forgotten.
Unfortunately for me I did not realize that I could have gotten a c5 ls1 for the same or less until it was too late.
I would also like to rebuild the lt1 and use it in my 1960 C10 Shortbed Stepside project.

I already have a ls ECM Service number 12200411 I bought for this. I thin it is programed for a 200 C5.
