Why are you asking this question again? Your other thread was pointed to the LSx build thread...were you hoping that asking it a different way would somehow change the answer?
There is NO KIT!!! At least...not yet from anyone I've ever seen. The other great resource for builds is the LS1Tech Forum.
If you want to do it...you'll need to break new ground, or pay someone else to do it for you. It HAS been done...it isn't impossible. Chao$ has done it pretty cheaply...but it has taken a lot of time to get there, mostly trial & error. Using his build thread, you could accomplish the same thing in a shorter time because you now know what works and what doesn't....but nobody is making a "KIT" to swap an LSx into a C4 (right now).

What about a kit to put an lt1 into a c5/6?
If you're looking to make big power, the iron block might be better.
And with aftermarket head options (for sbc and ltx), the lsx series magic (its heads) is negated

No Kits Like Every Seniors pointed out But You remember the old saying speed costs. How fast ya want to go?\
If u want to do this or I guess I should say If u want this done.
Go on Ebay Their are a few guys that pull em out of Smashed cars and pull all the computers and wiring harness. I saw a few yesterday then pay the 5 or so grand to have it all delivered and then pay someone else to put it in.
Or just email the Count from the Counting Cars Show in las Vegas
He'll do it and you just might get on one of his shows

I see where this one is going.
I would love to buy a kit to install the 1953 I-6 Blue Flame into the new C7.
I'm also looking for a LT5 with a non-vented Opti Spark, and a manual transmission 1982 Corvette.
