Default 1957 Chevy????

Hello all
Newbee here and I was told this is the place I need to be. I have a 57 chevy 2dr wagon that I am thinking of dropping in a LT1 or LS1 with auto trans. I need help in making up my mind due to I have never done this before. I have been told to find the motor and trany w/all cables and cpu (complete) Then I am lost as to what I need to do and what I have to look forward to down the road with problems etc...

Has any one done this swap on a tri5? Is the any files out there on this swap?
