Default Details on ls1 swap .

So I have a 94 z28 and I was just wondering what exactly would have to be done for a ls1 swap to happen . Ik motor mounts most likely a new k member due to the oil pan . After its done it would be intended for daily driving . And harness situation . Possibly what's the cheapest I could look at doing this for

I'm considering doing an LS327 build and swapping. Mostly for better weight balance and less weight in general. Plus I might be getting rod Knock I'm not sure, but anyway I digress,

My understanding is you need atleast, but not limited to:
LS engine
Tranny of your choice
Ls k member
Wiring harness and PCM
Ls1 corvette fuel pressure regulator
Motor mounts
And probably a bunch more stuff I can't think of right now

You an pick up a lS327 for like 500 bucks if you look for it. Put 3 grand into and you got a reliable 400+whp car
