Im not knocking you for a lack of skill or time, might be best to just call some shops and open your checkbook or get that gold card out.

simple google search (ls3 c10 pickup) show a few, one shows roughly $19000 with a list of items and part numbers.

Might be best to buy a truck done with an ls and drive the crap out of it.

Haha ya I know they're expensive if you buy one with the swap, but only because it's a special vehicle to someone. It would be significantly less (in my research so far) to buy a used engine and trans package and pay a local shop to do it. I already have the truck so I'm not worrying about that part.
