BMR rear control arms - $150 Wasted money.
BMR panhard rod - $100 Wasted money
LG Torque Arm - $300 Possibly wasted money. I'd make my own paper before paying LG for a roll of toilet paper.
Stainless brakelines - $100 yawn...
Hawk front brake pads - $150 sheesh!
Longtube headers with cats/y-pipe - $1200 Too much.
Air Lid with K&N - $150 Go home built on this? I'd try to do a cold air routed to a cone filter.
2-point STB - $100 yawn
Harnesses (2) - $200 yawn. RJS = $60 each.
A lot of this list is fluff. Seriously, it won't make the car faster. You sure like to negatively pad your budgets with silly sh!t!

You'd also be down 50 hp to an LS1, assuming you bought a complete LT1 to swap back into your car ($$ and wasted work!). WAY too much work and parts lost.... no way.
If you are serious about this, sell your Firebird (which you were gonna do regardless) and start with the right car. 1998-200 Z28 SS clone or **Firehawk** clone (assuming they made a Firehawk in 1998; think "stock" legal clone, then mod form there). And yes, a lot of these cars have some of these parts already installed...
