I dont know if these guys could help or not because i think they mainly deal with old school conversions, but its worth a shot. Call up 760-941-2741 or visit their website at www.TURNKEYENGINE.com They have complete kits, i mean everything is supplied right down to the plugs and wires and even the air filter. Hope that helps.

There have been quite a few people that have done the conversion, including GM Performance Parts and Katech. We did an article on GMPP's Camaro in the Feb '07 issue, which discusses a bit of the technical aspect of shoehorning in the engine, as well as an article on the Katech LS7 Camaro in Jan '08 issue. Off hand, from what I remember the biggest issue was the dry sump lubrication–mounting and modifying the oil tank. A tubular K-member and relocated battery were also required. Of course you'll also need a wiring harness and computer to go along with the crate motor. If you are not much of a DIYer, I'd say any quality LS1 shop should be able to do the conversion for you.
