Lots of work. You would have to cut the floor out and come up with rear suspension, while your in there you might as well tube frame the car so that you don`t twist it and break windows. At that point it would prettymuch be a tube frame race car, unless you spent a lot of time putting the climate control systems and insulation back in so that it could be a daily driver.
If I was going to go through the work of building a tube frame car it would be a race car that retained just enough lights, wipers, etc. that I could pass it off as being street legal. At that point I wouldn`t be driving it much on the street anyway so I wouldn`t be using a LSx. I would use a SBC because they are cheaper to build up, and I wouldn`t care about fuel mileage or how driveable the motor wold be.
