People will shout at me for this but I would hate to see an S2 cab being ruined. Seems like you have a well sorted cab and that engine is barely run in. Swap in an LS1 and right away the value of your car has gone down from its current value and you will have spent an extra $10k for a new crate and the partd to do the conversion correctly.
Not totally against the V8's but it would be cheaper for you to buy a solid 44/51 with a blown engine swap in a low mileage used LS and get your 375hp thrills that way...and still have a great S2 cab for sunny day cruising.
To answer your question though, I think GM Performance Parts can sell you a complete crate with harness and warranty.

I just bought a brand new Z06 LS6 long block with warranty for $3100!
Rated at 405Hp in a Corvette will make about 410RWHP and about 380RWTQ with my cam/headers/exhaust/tune that I'm using on my current LS1.

and
