Default LS1 in an 87 possible?

I am debating on selling my 87 or ... well hell ripping the motor and transmission out and putting an LS1 or 2 or 3 in it along with new transmission. Has anyone done this and if so how difficult is this?

Andrew6, for your info, look at my thread here entitled "LT1 conversion to LS3 hot cam". It has some of the details and my photobucket with 33 pics of the project just completed on my '92 where a LS3 "hot cam" was installed. Good luck!
