The block probably isn't that hard of a fix. The old sleeve needs to be cut out and a new one pressed in. Then it need to be honed. Any cracks in the block (if any) can be fixed by welding.
I would look into a local machine shop and see if fixing fits the budget. Or as others recommended find a cheap used shortblock. Upgrading always takes more money and more work. If your up to it, now sounds like a good time to do it. lol. Otherwise just get what you need done to get up and running again.

There is actually , LS1 engine came in those cars here :
2000-2006 caprice
2000-2006 lumina ss
and we have many of those at junk yard. That what made it easier for ls1 owners to find spare parts at GM dealers.
