The LT1 is the same motor mount -wise as an older small block chevy so that should be fairly simple . You will probably have to fabricate a rear crossmember for the tranny but that's not that big of a deal. It will be a lot simpler and cheaper than swapping in an LS1 , that's for sure.

An LS1 isn't that hard either. The motor mount is done with a simple flat plate and from there everything would be just about the same for the LT1 vs the LS1. Check out my website for pics & info about my swap. We have three LS1 C3s running around this forum with a few more being worked on at this time.
If you don't already have the LT1 and tranny, I'd recommend doing the LS1 instead.
