Off the top of my head...this should be almost exactly like an LS1 swap, in which case you will need an LS1 K-member and motor mounts. The LT1 and LS1 tranny casings are different, so you'll have to exchange your trans for the newer version...and you'll have to figure out some sort of intake and air filter setup that will work since the LT1 radiator support doesn't have the built in air box to which the air lid snaps. Another concern will be the gauge cluster, I don't think that will work with the L92 computer.
