any1 seen a LT5 in a 3rd Gen?

I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen or heard of someone swapping a LT5 ZR1 engine into a 3rd Gen? B/C for a little bit i was considering doing this b/c i could get a 50K LT5/ZF 6 spd for $7000. Then i changed my mind.

GM made one and it looked sweet.
$7K for that combo is a pretty decent price.

From what Ive seen/heard for prices on an LT5, $7000 sounds like a pretty good deal. That would make a very cool swap.
