LS1 in a Colorado

I was wandering if it would be possible to put an LS1 in a Chevy Colorado and what all would be needed to be changed as well. What kind of changes would have to be made with the computer and wiring and would any custom tuning need to be done with the computer? I really like the look of the truck and would like to buy one but don't really like the fact there is a little 4 cylinder in most of them lol.

You can buy them new with a 5.3 so all you would need is the motor mounts, oil pan/pick up tube and maybe the trans mount.

Would need an ECM to tell it what to do as well !
