Katech makes an electronic device that allows you to run the 58t reluctor with your PCM so that's not an issue.
adapters for the fuel injector harness.
Will the stock t56 hold this much power?

This would be a great swap
I think this would be a great swap for a roller. The Hot cam LS3 has a fat torque curve and sorry to say torque is what you feel when you accelerate. A hopped up LS1 might be able to make the same RWHP but the bigger motor will always be a better street motor.
Should make a great driver.

It would be hard for me to keep that hot cam in there with the front of the motor sitting in front of me in a crate.
You can drop this motor in, get the parts you need, and have it tuned for under $10K.

I agree and while you're at it no harm in having a local guy clean up the heads and intake a bit.
