You would want the engine, transmission, wiring harness, computer for starters. I don't know if it is as simple as mounting the LS1 motor mounts on the V6 k-member, so you may want to get a k-member from a LS1 f-body. Or buy a tubular one from UMI (I think that's the right company), or BMR. You will obviously need a new exhaust. Also, you may want to swap out the gauges, as it will probably be easier to use the V8 dash cluster. From there, it's whatever you want.
