Just remember a used LS1 with a T56 tranny with low miles will run you about $5k. Plus everything you need for the install will cost more. If you do it right it will cost a lot more than just the shell. Figure out exactly how you are going to go about it before jumping into buying a car. Price depends on how nice you want it to be. Please do good research first. Just my .02

You should take the money you plan on buying a new vehicle and get a heads / cam / intake manifold kit for the 5.0.
it would be a totally different car. 5.0's can make some silly HP N/A.
Or buy a Supercharger and go that route like I did.

Nothing exhaust your 5.0 but if your earlier listed mods are all you have, you're only power adder mods really are a full exhaust system.

Maybe i'm getting threads mixed up.
Regardless, i've never been a fan of the SOHC 4.6 MOD motors.
Now if you got your hands on a DOHC 5.4 Mod motor, and did a head / cam / manifolds to it and dropped it in the 95 (or anything else that would accept it), that could have some serious potential.
