Default LS1 into a 94 Formula

How much would it cost besides the LS1 to put it into a 94 M6 Formula? (like other parts I would have to purchase) How much work would this conversion require and what would I have to change on the Formula for the LS1 to work?

Not that I am against the swap, but wouldn't you be able to make your LT1 a helluva lot faster with the $$ you would spend on the swap and not have to deal with the hassle?

Well my LT1 has almost 200k on it and I would rather just get a new engine with less miles.

Work required would be approximately 3,765 Joules, but check my math as I'm not exactly sure of the LT1 engine weight.

For starters, I'd recommend changing your approach to research...
