Almost anything is possiable with 1. Unlimited Funds, and 2. Unlimited Resources. NOW, To answer your specific questions in a very short way..........Possiable - Yes, Without too much trouble - NO!

You will need new engine mounts, a new trans (need later electronic style), and all the wiring. The wiring will be the hardest part, no question there.

I actually have priced up a LS2 swap for mine, the engine, wiring, computer, all totaled up somewhere between $10k-$11k, at which point I decided I would just build something 383+ the way I wanted it built.

so my answer is the same as BlackHarleyMan's - Posiible yes, without too much trouble, no (unless your paying someone else to do it)
