Default LT1 swap

Does anyone know any good sites besides ebay to find 96-97 LT1 engines? I am looking for one to build to put in my 97 RS. Also does anyone know if the tranny one the V6 will bolt to a LT1?

Transmission will not work.... A 4l60E Transmission out of a 94+ Chevy Astro Van ( some even have the same tailshaft as an F-Body), Caprice, Roadmaster, Cadillac w/ a LT1 in it, Impala, etc.etc.etc., Also if you covert a V6 to a V8 lt1, You'll need the K-Member as well to bolt it all in and go. Otherwise using a v6 K-Member will mean you'll have to use motor plates and possibly welding.....Good Luck....Any?'s PM me. James
