To get the drivetrain into the car is the simple part. If you decide to use the fbody acc and retain AC you will need to cut a notch on the passenger side for the AC compressor to fit. Next option is to find corvette acc which relocayes the AC comp. To the top at the drivers side.
The rest is a portiin of any build that no one van really place a cost to simply bevause of the different parts available.
Headers 300.00 up
Custom exhaust system 300.00 on up
Harness mods free on up to 900.00
PCM tune and delete VATS 165.00 up
NEW fuel pump 129.00 - 150.00
Possible fuel line modifacation 85.00+
Subframe connectors 160.00 i prefer the Jegsters
The cool part of this swap is it can be done in a weekend working normal hours.
I strongly suggest going to thirdgen. Org and searhing the lsx/lt1 swap forum

i just posted a bunch of lt1 parts in the classifieds section. One of them is a complete swap harness for an lt1 into a third gen.
