For the most part it will be alot more work then it might be worth.

Depending on how you plan on aquiring the LS1 you could probably put that money into the original LT1 and make a real fast motor.

The LS1 is a great motor and stock for stock its way better than the lt1 but with a cam/heads/new opti/intake and a tune to you can make a screaming LT1 and not have to worry about all the little changes.

Just my .02 though.

You may want to check out the conversion forum also. There are a couple of guys that post over there that have done that swap.

I hate to say it, but it is not worth doing the swap in that case, better to sell the car and buy an LS1 F-body.
