money.....but why bother? if you want an LS1, sell your car and buy one. if you just want more power, get a heads/cam/exhaust setup for the cost of the LS1 that will put 380hp to the wheels.

I'm always wary of 4th gens with round headlights or ram air packages: they're obvios LSx cars. But who expects an LT1 formy to be packing a relatively tame sounding small block and be throwing down 450hp or so to the wheels? Hell, half the punks in souped up Neons don't even realize my Formula isn't a V6!

You'll need all of that and also need a PCM, etc.
