Step 1) borrow a buddies pickup. price- a case of beer.
Step 2) come get jason's engine and transmission. price-gas money ($150?) plus price of engine and tranny=$1650
Step 3) buy some thirdgen headers and exhaust. price-about $1000
Step 4) have it all installed. price-free if you know the right people.
So in short for between $2500 and $4000 you'll have a badass, lower mileage setup that will beat stock ls1's. To me this is a no brainer. Get your *** over here and pick it up.

Its actually a very straight forward swap. You would swap in the LT1 just like you would any other motor. No need for special motor mounts or anything. Your car was a TPI car from the factory so you can use the stock fuel pump, the only things that need to be compensated for are the fuel lines under the hood and the power steering lines and reservoir which are easy as hell to make with parts from Auto Zone, OR there is a guy on thirdgen.org named z28ricer that sells customized parts for the swap ready to go.

I figured 1500 is what I want to get for it.
Will come with wire harness and PCM tuned by Madtuner
Bad: Engine is pretty greasy, once it's out you can clean it up, and reseal anything you want.
LT1
~45k on the bottom end
stock heads and intake
CC503 cam
Crane 10308 dual springs
Comp Pro Mag 1.6 rr's
TF guideplates
ARP rocker arm studs
PS painted 1 3/4" LT headers (a bit dinged up since my car is slammed, but you'd need different headers anyway)
Prof Prod 52mm TB
Cobra 39# injectors
T56
~175k miles, no problems
newly installed Zoom kevlar clutch
stock slave and master
stock shifter, hurst pistol grip handle

Jason's setup hasn't been dynoed but he's probably pushing around 350 rwhp.
The t56 swap would be cake in your car because it's already stick. You'd have to make a small lil custom bracket i think for one of the pedal's and possibly a shorter driveshaft which isn't a big deal..someone else should confirm this though. Read up on thirdgen.org also.

If you're starting off with a TPI harness it makes it easier, but there is still a lot of splicing. And if you do it this way it will be harder to pinpoint little problems down the road if you get any. If you can afford it, you're better off just going with a custom harness if you're not good with wires and tinkering. Not the cheapest route, but its the more painless way to do it. These harnesses are usually in the range of $400-$500 depending on the company though.
