I'm putting the finishing touches on a 79 corvette to LS1/4L60E conversion right now.

It's a pretty easy conversion with no major issues (lots of little ones though). There are all sorts of little details that if you put them together can make your conversion go pretty smoothly - the hard part is putting all the info together for your wants and the specific needs of the vehicle.
