LS1's typically produce 350-360 crank horsepower(300-310 rwhp), bone stock. This motor has a 224 duration cam .565 lift(only one!), dual exhaust(when finished) with no cats. Probably not 400 crank without LS6 intake but that will come later.

e34 would be much easier, you should do it!
You would not have much trouble selling the motor and trans(or finding a cooked motor for that matter).
There is a e36 minus motor at the junkyard and there is a lot of room under the hood. Already rack and pinion and good crossmember location.
Im sure the e34 has wider framerails and is a little longer under the hood.
