Used LS1 complete swaps are going for $5k PLUS.

You may could pull it off with a used swap left basically stock, but it'd be close after all the other money needed to be spent on the swap AND cutting a lot of corners. Then the car will probably look like crap since no money was spent on exterior.

I considered this swap before I started on the RB26 swap. Sometimes I still wish I had stuck with it.

Im assuming with your name and the motor you are referring to that you guys are talking about a ls1 240...your pricing is a little off on the LS1 swap....You can get a t56 6 speed ALL DAY for under 2k and ive found ls1's (complete from oil pan to manifold) for 3k. the motor would be used YES, but still for 5k you would have a low mileage motor and a 6 speed tranny
