Default 96 Camaro V8 Swap

Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to f-bodies in general. I picked up a 96 RS Camaro with the 3.8 V6 in it. I was wondering how hard it is to swap a LT1 into it?

What parts are required for the swap?

Thanks
Steve

Engine, cradle, tranny, harness, pcm, and driveshaft.

go big or go home, at least do an ls1 swap if you plan on doing it, or just sell it and buy a V8 car. swap isnt cheap.

Thanks for the input, I may try to fix the car up a bit and sell it instead.
