Pretty quick RT. I always check the fluids, it a pretty good indicator if the car was taken care of. Don't worry about a high mileage LS1, they can last a long time. Good luck

Me personally, I would look for an 01-02. You can find out what makes them just a small step above the other years. Although there is nothing wrong with the other years. Just to name a few differences: LS6 intake, 28lb injectors, better headgaskets, block heater, better oil cooler I think too.
Just incase your interested I have an 02 Pewter WS6 auto for sale and I'll let go for $14,500. Very clean car and has no issues. PM me if you interested and I'll give you some more info.
But welcome to the fbody world I know you'll enjoy them!
