lt1 tranny ?
Yes, no problem. It is standard gen 1 bellhousing pattern and depth needed with an LT1.
Just do not pay a premium for the "Vette" motor. Those heads are the least flowing of the LT1 heads but admittedly the most desirable for porting. The 4 bolt mains are of questionable benifit on all but SERIOUS builds at which point aftermarket caps become a good idea anyway.

The turbo is maybe a little aggressive a plan but doable if you keep the boost low. Consider a light refresh on the shortblock opening the ring gap, and replacing bearings.
Well ported heads do amazing things for power, add a turbo and you will be moving gobs of air and the pistons can get hot. Guys who know more about forced induction than I say the reason stock pistons failunder boost is the rings gap closes too tight and rips the top of the piston out when the ring jams in the bore.
On the heads I would encourage you to look into one of the LT1 specialist companies, I chose Advanced Induction and am quite happy, Lingenfelter is I believe an all too often overlooked option but the few setups I have seen from them all ran great, PorPros sounds good as do some others. Wont be as cheap as the average local shop but the results will be better.
