Default Need advice/info with LS swapping a 1960 corvette

Hi, currently starting to build a 2002 5.3 LS and I’m going to
pit it in my 1960 corvette and IM looking for anybody that has swapped a LS motor in a 58-62 corvette with the STOCK FRAME.
Everyone Car that I see that has a LS motor in it has a custom chassis I do not want to change my chassis I want to put a LS motor in my stock chassis Corvette so I am looking for anybody that has done this that could give me advice and what they did to make it work in their car. I’m looking for what mounts did you use, what accessories did you use, what exhaust manifolds did you use etc.
thank you in advance

It really shouldn't be too difficult if you are using an older trans. Have you already found this page? post #8 has some good info for you.

Thank you for that link. I appreciate it. And I recently swapped out my factory 4 speed for a Tremec TKX 5 speed and im running my 4 speed bell housing so that seems real straightforward behind an LS
