It wouldn't be all that hard really. Just the same amount of work as an LS1 or LS2.
Search for the threads on those installs, and that'll get you a good start.

You'll need to locate a place for the dry sump oil tank and plumb it. Beyond that it is similar to other LSx swaps. You may have to beef up the rear end to hold the power.
