Default 3rd gen swap

Ok, so the plan was, and still is, to put an LT1 into my 85 TA. As of right now, I am still looking for a motor. I went and looked at one last night, but it was crap. That being said, I have also stumbled across an ls1 at an awesome price out of a 2003 corvette, or so it says. So, to do my due diligence and explore all options, what would it take to put an ls1 into an 85 TA? (k-members, harnesses, accessories, custom lines, custom manifolds, etc...) Any information would be greatly appreciated. Would like to get an idea of the work involved as well as the price. If it's not too much more difficult or expensive, I think it'd be the way to go. But money's gonna be tight on this project for now and my experience is very limited when it comes to motors.

Yeah, I was reading it. And that wasn't sarcasm, I was being serious: It was really helpful and will continue to be if I choose to go with an LS1.
