I don't know if you can get an LS9 shortblock (I doubt it since it's hand-built) but that's what I'd look into first.

Either way - that sounds like a bad@$$ conversion
It would be a "Cool" conversion, however the cost would be astronomical IMHO. The factory LS3 will run on 8-10 psi, make the same power and live for 100K if tuned properly.
