Default 94 LT1 Engine Swap

Hey All, just wanted to get some opinions here. I plan on buying an LT1 383 crate engine to replace my current LT1 (77,000 miles). anyone know where my best bet is to get one?? i see a few sites online but dont know which one is the best. Also if i change out to the 383 any other drive train upgrades recommended?? thinking a new tranny. Im looking to make my 94Z a fast street rod and unique. Anyone who has done this swap before that has recommendations/ tips for me it would be great to hear them.

you could always buy the parts and have a machine shop do it for you,obviously find a reputable shop first

i know i would have to take the block to a machine shop for the bore, and it would cost me almost the same to buy the parts and time to rebuild it all when i found a pretty good deal from this site.
