You'd need to find a 98-02 k member with motor mounts, a 98-02 steering rack, and the full harness, a new transmission, clutch, etc, it's a big swap.

Best bet is to buy a complete donor car or find an ls roller IMO

I think you can buy a spacer now to bolt the LT1 tranny to the LS motor.

go over to the "conversions & hybrids" section of the forum, there is a swap guideon what you will need and also a bunch of build threads of people who have done or are in process of doing the swap.
