Default Looking to get an LS1

Just a little bit about me and my situation. I am in the army (have been for 9 yrs) currently in Afghanistan. I am looking to be home around June. I am a previous owner of an 04 Mustang GT and was looking at getting back in a Mustang when I returned. I have been cruising forums and the internet for a while looking at cars when I thought I should check out ls1. Wow am I impressed with the numbers these cars get and what I may be able to buy one for compared to a Mustang.

I know very little about the Ls1 engine in general. So I am looking forward to leaning. Also come May/June I will be in the market for a 98 and above Ls1 car. If anyone is considering selling around that time let me know.

Speaking of which what money should I be looking to spend on a decent 98 and above z28.

All depend on mileage and the shape the cars in.

I just got a 00 bro ss with 99k for 6700 not bad . Defently a good platform to start on and you could get a z28 for so cheap with low miles if that is your thing. I just like the ss package so much
