There is a lot of work involved for us to do an LS1 swap in Oz. Are you able to do it yourself at home? If not, this swap will be too expensive
There's a few other guys who've done 5.3L iron-block swaps.
Other alu 5.7L swaps:

Hey mate yeah i am i have a full fab workshop at my disposal. Are you saying there's more involved due to the adaption that bmw had to make. I.e. Brake rod, RH power steering arm

You have to move the booster. Some use a remote-mounted unit, with new pedals and all new hardlines run through the car. I'm giong with a master cylinder mounted where the battery tray is (was) with E36/E46 pedals. This is a fuckload of work to set up correctly.
Powersteering will be tighter than a fish's arsehole. I've ditched power steering on mine to give myself more room, but it'll still be tight. Good luck gettting 1 7/8" headers in there, probably have to go with 1 5/8"
You'll have to get the loom repinned to suit the holden ECU.
You'll have to upgrade the brakes
You'll have to do a little massaging of the trans tunnel to fit the T56
etc, etc.
