just kidding, it probably won't be too hard to do.

I've done the conversion. You will NOT need new turn signals, they are the same. You will also need all the brakets for the headlights/foglights, and a 2 brakets for the fenders. You'll also need a new front bumber brace that connects to the radiator support, and Hood Hinges. To the naked eye they look exactly the same as LT1 hinges, but they sit 1 inch lower. You will run into a few problems, the radiator sits higher on the LT1, and the rubber hoodstop mounts will need to be replaced with LS1 braket mounts and welded if you want to use them. I also got the LS1 airbox to work but it is a lot of work for little gain. Go to the appearance section od the CZ28 forums and run a search and you will find all the info you need, including part numbers. You can reuse the plastic guards under the nose also.
