Check out the huge conversion forum on LS1tech (just one of the many LSx conversion forums on the net):
Conversions & Hybrids - LS1TECH
You can get lot of info and pics here for comparison.

EDIT: FWIW the LS1 is also smaller than many V6s, for example the Nissan VQ in the 350Z.

Thanks for the link, you guys are so lucky when it comes to swaps, we can't do S... over here or the car is deamed ilegal

Hp/liter does not affect the car like the weight of an engine.

The following is from the January 2006 issue of Sports Car International on page 25:

"The net result is a fully trimmed engine that weighs 458 pounds, only 10 more than the 6.0-liter LS2."

Also, BMW's M5 Product Information Guide says that the M5's 5.0 liter 500 hp (SAE net) V-10 weighs 240 kg/529 lbs.
