Default Conversion to LT1 in an 82 Vette?

Does anyone have info on what would be required to do this. I plan on buying a '82 and maybe putting an LT1 in it. :cheers:

Thanks for the link, looks like there isn't much room in there to do very much like changing spark plugs and stuff. Great looking car and conversion though!! :cool:
