In-car bottom end rebuild? LT-1

I'm considering buying a rare '97 Camaro SS 30th but the car has a knock. It's a factory wht/org, houndstooth with 50k miles...basically my dream car since I was a senior in HS that year. I'm wondering if anybody has ever done this? I'm thinking new crank, main & rod bearings? It's a 100%stock car. I'm thinking the 80yr old owner missed a shift or went 5th to 2nd instead of 4th? I'd rather not risk scratching up a mint original paint car so that's why I'm considering fixing it in the car if possible. Anyone have a suggestion where to get good, inexpensive kits? I'll be leaving the car stock and never plan on actually racing it, but I still would never undercut a crank. I've owned 2 LS1 Camaro SS's and 2 '96 Impala SS so this would be my 1st LT-1 Camaro SS.
