ls1 worth it?

[Slowpoke]

Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question. I currently have the option to buy an ls1 with under 50k miles on it for around 400-500 bucks. I am just curious about the amount of diffculty to put it into an 2004 silverado 4.8 with a 5 speed.
The ls1 is out of a 2001 corvette and comes with everything I just have to install cam bearings. I really had my heart set on a 6.0 liter with the iron block, but I wanted some of y'alls opinions. I am kind of short on cash (just bought the truck) and I am short on room in the garage. However I do have a dealership at my disposal but only after hours and saturdays. How much trouble am I looking at with the vette LS1 swap?

good observation.... i was so into the ls1 for &#036;400 i didn&#39;t even think about the cam bearings...slowpoke if you don&#39;t buy the ls1 hook me up please

Don&#39;t buy it, give me his number.

Seriously, if you don&#39;t buy it hook a brother up&#33; That&#39;s one hell of a deal.

it is not worth it bro go with the 6.0 and give me the guys number i want to buy an ls1 and put it in my firebird 6er

buy the motor&#33; i honestly dont think there is much of a power difference between the 6.0 and ls1. if the 6.0 does edge out the ls1 the ls1 makes up for it in a little weight. i run a ls1 and went 13.26@102 on the stock cam in my ECSB. you dont need to replace bearings at 50k. its not even broken in at 50k thats a helluva deal

The cam bearings were purposely destroyed so that the extended warranty company would replace the motor.
