u can get a used completes ls1 and a t-56 for that price. check www.ls1.com in teh classified sections to see if any1 is selling engine and tranny. if i remember correctly on www.norcal-ls1 i believe cobrakilla was selling a complete ls-1 with harness for 600, but it has a spun bearing so it needs to be rebuilt. it has no internals because of the spun bearing but he has a stock crank, pistons and rods for the build up. cobrakilla has a thirdgen camaro with an ls-1 and has passed smog, so if u have questions on teh swap u probably could ask him.if u don't want to go that route, u can probably get a built 350 roughly 2500 bucks.
