Default Headlights/Motor

I wanna' get rid of my pop-up headlights and replace them with fixed lights. Has anyone done anything similer to their C4? How do I do this?
What's the most cost efficient hp/tq I can get out of my l85 motor, and would it be more feasable to swap it with an Lt1? How compatable is an Lt1 with an 1984 Corvette?

Note: I already know an R4/700 bolts on to an Lt1.

I saw kits to install the headlights you are considering in a couple of the catalogs. I believe Ecklers and Mid-America offer them.

They're rather pricey though.
