I was quoted $5k for an LS6 by my local GM performance parts at a dealership.
$5k for an LT1 is not a good deal. You can get a MUCH better engine... atleast go LS1. If not LS6 or LS2.
I wouldn't recommend an LT1. You can pretty much get a better engine for about the same or the same price.
If you do decide to go LT1 then I would not pay more $3k (Including labor)... for $5k that **** better come supercharged.

Follow their advice. I had a 96 Firebird (you can find pics on this forum) and I bailed on it after I drove a LS1 powered car. I now have a 2000 Camaro. Sell yours on ebay and use the money to have a LS1 installed.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
isn't the L99 called the baby lt1? If so, it should be a very direct swap. I bet the accessories and harness wouldn't change much, if at all honestly.
Just reflash the PCM and be done with it.
If you are just pricing a motor swap, 1100-1500 isn't that far out of the ballpark for a motor swap. Labor isn't cheap at a shop.

I'd go with an lt1...
a place to check out, if you don't find anything here, www.camaroz28.com or whereever...
Is www.tacreationsusa.com they deal with used f-body parts, and are located in Hialeah Miami. Wouldn't say "cheap" but not unreasonable, and not too far.
