Default advice

ive been looking for a project car, i found a 1994 camaro in my town for 1000, it has 178k miles on it, but it needs work and i have general questions about it to see if in the opinon of people who know much more than me think its something worth getting in to. what is a decent lifespan for an lt1 engine? should i go into this with the mindset of replacing the engine or should i just drive it until it dies? it also looks to be missing most of the intake components, and needs a new fuel pump. how hard and/or expensive are these components to find and replace? the whole interior is shot, so i would need a new interior. does this seem like its too much for someone who has limited experience with cars? i would need this car as a daily driver while im fixing it up as well so that makes the equation a bit tougher. i thank everyone in advance for your comments and advice.

Sounds like a good deal.. parts are gettin cheaper for the LT1's.. just keep your head up for interior out of an LS1 car! Pick it up put a new motor in it and drive the **** out of it! Any pics of this car in question anyway?
