I can't speak of other places, but here (and there is a very active 67-72 scene here) a very nicely-done LS with and OD trans swap will bring $5-$7,500K more than the traditional SBC/BBC swap.

When I say "nicely done" I am not referring to an oily, greasy junk yard motor tossed in a truck with wires/hoses/etc run all over the place and a bunch of jackleg home-made mounts/adapters. I'm talking about a clean, nicely wired, organized engine bay and a powertrain that idles, runs & shifts like it should.
