Default Newbie checking in from the Eastern Shore

Hey Ya'll,

If this is the wrong place to post this just let me know and I'll move it to the appropriate forum.

I am looking to build a 69 Camaro with an LS1, 5 or 6 speed, A/C, cruise, PS.
I want to have something that is reliable to use as an everyday driver, comfortable enough to cruise with the family on a Saturday night, with enough power for an occasional trip to the drags, just to get the itch out of my system.

I am looking to get clarity and direction for this project.

Is there a company or supplier that makes a complete "kit" to swap an LS1 into a first generation Camaro?

Is what I am looking to accomplish doable...or am I way off base?

All opinions, recommendations and even snide remarks are welcome.

Thanks,

Elon
