Personally, I'm not on the LS wagon yet. I know all the advantages and this and that... I'm just old school I guess.
Now, with that being said... If you have the $$ to do this, and you have a good deal at hand, go for it, worst case, you pull it out in a couple years and sell it to the next guy who wants to do the mod, and then you install the old school big block.
From my limited knowledge, that price sounds pretty good for a complete package with harness. Modify your fuel system and you're in there. It sounds to me like you can't lose money, only your labor if you aren't happy with the end result.
Go for it.

I havent jumped on the LS wagon yet, but lookin hard! over the past 25 yrs, I have run a 425 Cad, a mildly hopped 461 Olds, a 355 chev, & finally a 383 Chev in the old longhorn. If you are into BB power, I would say go for it....there is no substitute for cubes, unless its MORE cubes

That big bad Olds ran like stink in my old truck, but was not one bit easy on fuel! In this spot in my life, I am looking for a little more fuel friendly cruiser, that is fun to drive. Idle like a stocker, & go like he!! with a 6spd box & 3.73 gears

Its your baby, you should do what makes you feel right about it....crazyL
