The differences between an 02 LS1 and an LS6 are very small. Its not worth the effort to do an entire swap.
With an LS6 cam, 243 heads, and a tune, you basically have an LS6 for less than $1000 in mods.

Good call Joe. I went in with the thought that the LS1 was shot or needing work, though that never was brought up. And with what you said, a decent aftermarket cam and 799 heads (now easier to find than 243's) plus the tune would set him up nicely.
