You will have to swap the sending units from the original trans am engine or equivilants to the ls1 engine. Tuning software can correct speedo.

boy.. try researching some of the project thread here in the Conversion / Hybrid forum.

but you will need engine mounts or adapters, exhaust Manifold/headers, upgraded fuel system to handle the required fuel pressure (58psi), a custom/converted wiring harness, PCM/ECM reprogramed, Drive shaft mod'd, Hyd clutch setup for your pedals, Radiator fans.. but that is a start. go ahead and ask question in smaller area or question to get better answers.. we don't have time to posted a complete swap manuals..

And the major areas to research.. the Oil pan and Mounts.
