Ill have to take a look at them. Im not sure at what im setting up my budget at, but I do know this. by the time I buy a short block ( If I can find a 3.8 short block, all I keep seeing is long block, which is going for 1600-1800) I buy the Cam I want, valve springs, timing chain, have the heads an intake matched and cleaned up by the dude I know, gaskets,and such, and then install teh T5 on it, and clutch/ flywheel setup Ill be around 3000-3500, so If I can find a decent LS1, and trans/ harness for a price thats worth it, ill definantly go with it, but as well I know theres things that would need to be switched for the LS1, like the radiator, fuel system, and gauge cluster, so I expect something like this will be in the 3-5K range to be complete. Im weighing my options out, but Im now starting to lean towards 8 cylinders, instead of my trusty 6 pack.

I would look into buying a car already with an LS1, but this is my baby. I poured so much into her already, it would be ashame to just get another car, and let that work go for naught, plus, thers not that many 4.1 gen Camaro's with an LS1, so it would certainly raise eyebrows.
