    It's feasible: under a grand for a rolling shell, $3-4k for an LS1 complete (A new crate is $4k), mount kit, driveshaft, rearend, etc...

    -or-

    Paint can be $50 or $3k+, depending how much you do yourself. With wheels & suspension, it's all who you know and what you have laying around...

    For $10k would it look like I would want it too? Probably not...but i'm sure with a little sweet talking you can get some help from local shops
