LSx Engine Upgrade for 1975 Corvette

Hello all. I'm new to this forum. I'm contemplating purchasing a 1975 (engineless) Corvette, and am interested in learning more about what it takes to convert to a LSx motor. I've seen some dated posts on this for LS1. Wanted to inquire if there may be some more updated info. Any guidance is much appreciated.

Bluedawg, thank you for the prompt reply. I've seen references to a "sticky" on this topic for LS1, but cannot see the sticky. Can somebody point me to this?

Try these out, they are in the consolidated sticky, what happened to my sticky thread. I wanted to do an ls7 or ls9 swap, pretty daunting task back then but seems that there are kits for about the hole swap, the erod is a stand alone system with an electric gas pedal and all, seems like a good set up for 425 horse and not overly expensive, back them piecing it all together and the tuning it with the computer. Ive tunned many of small blocks with jets, timming and all and im sure once you get all the computer stuff figured ot it wouldnt be that bad. Have you seen the ls/twin turbo thread by boosted C3? Looks to be a bad *** vette.
