Too much of a pain I wouldn't even do it. That 402 would make less power than an ls1. It would probably cost you more to swap that in instead of an ls1.

Well what should I do?

I agree, too heavy, too big, too weak.

Go with the best LS you can afford.

Start with the stickys!!! they were a big help to me. Its not too bad to do as long as you are looking for a project, not gonna lie somethings suck to do! But all in all its been a lot of fun, I am about half done with my build. All of the headaches will be forgotten when its running!
