3rd Gen Corvette swap

I'm looking for info on swapping an LS3 into my 71 Corvette. I see that there are several on this site that have already done this. Is there a kit available for this? What are the problems that I'm likely to encounter. I was thinking about a new crate motor as opposed to a used motor out of some donor car. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Oh, and I did have an '02 Z06 for a couple years. Fun car until the motor ate itself and the local dealer screwed me on the repair. Oh well, that what the Lemon Law is for, right?

Thanks,

Jamey

Check the C3 tech/ performance section on corvetteforum.com there is a huge thread stickied at the top for C3 conversion swaps.

Welcome aboard. I'm just starting an 6.0 LQ9 swap in my 68 vette.
