Google ls1 into vh. This conversion has been done many times. The cost will depend
on how much of the work you can do yourself. Finding a good ls1 might be a problem.

Current difference between LS1 & 2 is approx $2k, go for the LS2 option & factor in $15-20k (based on you want every thing to work <ac, powersteer, speedo, tacho, upgraded brakes, cats & full exhaust etc> & have it engineered). Or slap in a 304 & T5 from a VN-VS $5k!
