Best thing I ever did. I have a '94 LT1 in my '81. It was a pretty easy conversion. I did it myself and I think ran about $5k. It goes in on the same motor mounts and will hook right up to the Turbo 350. If you are looking for the engine, consider http://www.lt1s.com/lt1sthatrun/index.html Also, you might consider an LT4. It is the same basic engine and has a more HP, of course it is more $$.
