is this a good start for a ls1 swap

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

From personal experience, I would start with a complete car with no rust. You will spend more money trying to fix that car than you would just buying one in better shape. This is not a cheap swap. Think about it, why would you put $5-7k in a chassis that is about to fall apart? Also, vert parts are much more difficult to come across unless you are willing to pay a premium. I would walk away from this one for anything over $200. Plus, I assume it has a salvage title which is another issue to deal with.
