Default Ls1

I own a 1986. Time to do something with motor. Need help. Can you and is it economically feasible to drop an LS1 in an 86? I have access to an LS1 and its computer and harness. I'm wondering how much work am I looking at. Need as much input as possible. Thanks

As crazy as this may sound, you aren't the first guy to think of it, or even the first guy to bring it up on the forum. Luckily, we have this thing called search that allows us to find things previously posted:
