Been through this and while I would love to do the LS swap the money doesn't ad up. I can get an new, not rebuilt L31 from GM for $2k sometimes just under. Comes with a warranty.

If I go LS to meet that price I have to buy a used engine with 100K +/- and I know nothing about it. By the time I am done it will cost more, it's more work to install. No warranty either.

I have been back and forth but I finally decided to go with the L31 even though I would like the LS.
