Default LT1 into a 95 3.4?

To sum it all up.. I have a 95 3.4L Firebird.. If i was to pick up an LT1 motor and heads... i pretty much need a COMPLETE list of everything else i would need to successfully drop the motor and have a daily drivable car... Sure you may say just go buy an LT1 T/A, but i wanna weigh my options.. i'd love to have a motor swap with a V6 vin..

I pretty much already plan to pick up an LT1 rear-end w/ aluminum driveshaft no matter what. so that's one less thing.

Or how about a wrecked LT1 T/A.. and swap everything? i just would like to see all my options on the table

This would be perfect... but i dont have $2500 right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-Ca...QQcmdZViewItem

Just buy an LT1 car. I've been in the same position before. Huge waste of time and money to turn a 3.4L car into an LT1 car.

Yep, LT1s cars are so cheap, you can pick up a clean running example sub $4500, just put gas in it and your swaps done.
