About $3800 total doing the work myself not including performance mods.

I sold all my V6 stuff for about the same amount. I had a lot of V6 stuff.

Can you give me some suggestions on how and where to sell the V6 stuff. I have a few mods. RKSport headers/ y-pipe. Like yours, I had the headers and Y-pipe welded at the flanges. Whisper lid, Taylor wires, ect...

Also, I have a 98 V6. I was planning on using my tank and buying a racetronix unit. Will this work? My LS1 is being rebuilt, highly modded before it goes in.

Thanks!

I sold most of my stuff on firebirdv6.com

You should be able to use your 98 metal tank and get the racetronix ls1 setup. I'm not sure where the 98 ls1's fuel pressure regulator is though, you'll have to look into that.

I did have to change the steering rack and linkage... which is noted on the swap page.

If your V6 shaft is a single piece you can use it. If you have the older style 2 piece i strongly recomend you upgrade to a single piece shaft.
