Time consuming and Involved
Is it worth the money ..Yes
Thirdgens have around 350 - 400 ish lb advantage over 4th gens
Expressions when you pull on modern muscle car - Priceless

i wont say 99% bolt in
to me 99% bolt is a 383 or 350 SBC 1st Gen or a LT1 2nd Gen
i give it like a 75-80 % bolt swap unless you pay $$$$ to have people do the hard stuff for you
Wiring is the biggest issue some people get scared , its easy really and takes time to do it right , or pay some one to do it , you have to mate thirdgen "after cutting it down" and ls1 harness etc .. a A/c notch needs to be made is retaining stock a/c location or relocate to top mount is a option and the exhuast setup as you will need custom ypipe
those are the biggest hurdles
