You will never be able to get an ls1 car that cheap. lol. At least not around here. Even a crashed trans am or camaro around here is 7 or 8k with all its drivetrain intact. Plus, LS1s are very expensive and hard to get parts for. Go with a straight up small block, the 55-86 kind. That is the most comon motor in the world. More than 55 million produced. And I would suggest going auto. No clutch to mate up, the shifter wont end up in the wrong place, etc. Then all you have to do, is measure your driveshaft and take it to a good shop to get it chopped down and get a chevy U joint put on the end. And then with a carb you dont have to worry about computers, wires, fuel return lines, sensors, etc. Just a fuel line, a few vaccum hoses, and a battery wire. lol. I would love to put some sidedraft carbs on a 7mge. Yay for power.
