Unless he give you a tremendous deal and/or you like working on cars just for the sake of it, do yourself a favor and buy a car with an LS1 from the factory. You won't regret it, and you can imeddiately begin to hotrod without the pain of a conversion.
Aslo, when the time comes to sell, the fact that the VIN # decodes as a V6 came come back to haunt if if you do an engine swap.
