I know for a fact there is at least 1 LS1 powered Astro running around.

I think it's got AWD, but can't remember. I'll have to search out a linky...

Alright, here's some links:
Here's the guy I was thinking of (it is AWD): http://www.aei.ca/~nmaclennan/index.htm
And another one I found: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/311571
