I picked up a '98 LS1/4L60e combo with harness/accessories for 1000 dollars.
Had a bolt cracked off the block (alternator mount, on the "wing" at the front of the block) and a cracked intake. The alternator will still mount up fine, and a new intake cost me a raging 30 bucks.
If you want a good price, buy a totalled car and part it out. You can make money on your LS1 if you have a keen eye and patience.

actually be careful doing this. i part cars on ebay all the time and went this route. I paid $4500 for a 99 z28/t56. i kept the engine, tranny, harness, ecm, radiator, fans, fog lights, leather seats, and AC stuff. the otehr parts sold for about $2000.
i can part a 88-93 stang out and DOUBLE that
if you know someone at a chevy dealership that could help too.
i bought a 2001 vortec 8100 for $250, said to have oil consumption.
from the same dealership i bought a 6.0l and a 5.3l together for $150.
5.3 was blown, holes in block, 6.0L was oil consumption, taken apart.

Not sure what your point was?
known LS1/comp/harness/4l60s go for $3000-3500, and look what you got!
