There is a ton of information here, sometimes it's burried and you have to "Search" for it. It looks like this swap is kind of rare, but here are a few guys that have done it and you may want to contact them Via PM or E-mail.

All wrong info above. Hummer pan did not fit in my 65. I have a LS1 half way through the swap.

Oil pan, you either need to make your own and lengthen the oil tube or buy setup from Street and Performance. Get your lube ready, it is gonna hurt. I made my own. $100 for a local welder to do it.

As for the exhaust, Street and Performance sold me a set of headers that were coated and expensive. I think $600 or something like that.

As for mounts, fleabay will have them that bolt to the stockers. I paid $19 for them plus the $20 for the pair of stock mounts. Street and Performance will sell them to you for $200.

Trans cross member will need to be moved.

Check out chevytalk site for more info. I have posts all over the place about my swap. I hope you put discs on the front already.

Mis-spoke. The Hummer pan will leave you 5" from the ground, so if you plan on a construction zone or speed bump then bring some wood or get a tow plan in advance.

At certain times of the year, that wouldn't even get you down my driveway.
