Like everyone else says, just be patient and keep looking. I was looking for mine for 6-8 months before I found a steal of a price. Got it for $3500ish + tax, tags, title, etc. Only real issue is the body work, and I have a good friend who is giving me a great price. Of course at 127k miles I need to do some routine maintenance but that's to be expected with any car. For the mileage and the price she runs like a dream.

Yeah I was quoted $500 from my friend so... I feel like the wholesale price I paid for the car was worth it even with body damage.

I would definitly not try doing a swap that would be extreemly dificult. Just keep your eyes peeled and best of luck to you.

since you don't have the money and aren't SURE you're ever going to have the money, i'd do an LT1 car. they're cheaper which leaves more money for all the extravagant plans you have for this car

Not to be pessimistic, but isn't this like the 10 billionth time you've said you were getting/going to get a 'maro? Save money FIRST, then start looking at what's available. You can have all the ideas in the world, but those ideas cost money first.

you don't need my motor for auto x.
you can find complete 6 speed swaps for around 1500 bucks, so 3500 bucks for a running lt1 car. compared to what for an ls1 car? see my point yet?
