Jeff hit the nail on the head. If this were an older carbed motor I would say build you some motor/tranny mounts and "get-er-done".
Since you have a harness, ECM, fuel system, exhaust, driveshaft, fan shroud, and a few dozen other things to modify this will not be a cheap swap regardless of what you paid for the motor. If you wondering how I know, I'll give you a hint. Those pics I posted are from the LS1 swap in to my 82 Blazer. I have about 10k in that so far. It can be done much cheaper these days, but I digress.
I would suggest you try to sell the motor to someone and use that money to buy a complete truck that has a good Chevy donor motor. Even if you have to pay a bit more to get a decent donor, if the truck you buy has parts that can be sold off, you can regain most of your money....
