A lot easier and cheaper to sell your RS and buy a Z28 and in the end you will have a car that is worth more then you have invested. I have seen some pretty nice LT1's with blown headgaskets sell for $1200. Sell you RS for $700 plus the cost of a head gasket kit you will be into a 300 HP car for about $800 and two week ends of work. Estimated cost of the convertion, about 3K on the cheap and a good 150 hours of work.

Smart move, I am sure you will be happy with a 3rd gen and you would have 1/20th the headaches. I know a guy that picked up a near cherry 91 V6 with a blown motor for $500. They are out there.
