any lt1 to ls1 swap shops near the Twin Cities? Im about to pick up a clean 96 z28 that only has 90k and plan on saving up for an eventual ls1 swap. Are there any shops in the st.paul or minneapolis area that would do it for a reasonable price if I already had the Ls1 motor and didnt need to buy it? thanks.

FWIW, I recently traded in my LT1 for a LS1 at a dealer. The dealer took my LT1 for $4200 and I bought the LS1 for $7400 for a $3200 difference. I could have gotten more for my LT1 if I was patient enough to sell it myself and I could have found a LS1 for about a grand cheaper from a private party, but I didn't want the hassle of selling my car.

lets see.... right now i couldnt run into a Ls1 for a decent price with less than 100k miles, but i can find a 96 and a 97 with 90k and 85k respectively that have never seen snow. now, for both being 90k or less and under 5k its hard to beat. true, "if you want an ls1 get an ls1", but sometimes in this economy those without cars cant keep waiting for what they want to show and have to take what they can get. I guess this means time to search to see if i cant find a shop that will do the swap in the future when I can afford it. until then, if you guys see a 90k ls1 for 5k or less that isnt destroyed let me know.
