its not really a swap. id never pay that kind of money for a used motor. you can buy all the ls6 topend parts and rebuild your short block for way less. hell theres a pair of 243 heads on here with 1k miles for 600, thats a start.

Depending on your build date you may already have an ls6 bottom end from gm. Only difference is cam and heads. You even have an ls6 intake stock. Id invest in some heads and cam on top of your ls1. Would bne way less money and make a ton more power.
