Actually I have been looking into it as well..I have found a few things that work nicely, as far as the Fuel Rails that are needed, and a Company that builds a direct Plug-in Harness to run the LSX Motor. PM me if you want more info on the research that I have done so far.
I am looking into building a 400CID LS2. That will be a sleeper car..
