the LS1 is just as expensive. if i was you id buy a LQ4 imo.

out of the list i sent you buddy pick out what you want. the fuel pump isnt needed. go through my build thread and you'll see exactly what you need. the fuel fittings and stuff you will need. you can reuse the radiator/over flow tank. i would put e-fans on this thing.

adapters
clam shell mounts
fuel line connectors
tune
wiring harness
motor as complete as you can get it
exhaust
belts
radiator hoses
your 60e will work with the new motor

well my thing is i dont want to buy a motor brand new so ive been looking for a wrecked vehicle that i can buy and grab everything i need off of it, and LQ9 and LQ4 trucks are hard to find wrecked, i found one LQ4 in the junkyard but the truck it was in was so wrecked from the front that it isnt even worth trying to pull, but i think i could find a wrecked camaro/firebird easier, i was on ebay yesterday and i found someone selling a LS1 for like $1200 but i dont know im just spit balling until i can make a sure decision
