Default LT4 in a C6

Wanting to put an LT4 in a C6Z with a blown motor. I understand there will be difficulties in getting the computer to work with the dashboard cluster. I would consider just getting an aftermarket digital dash. Is there anything else that would be problematic? Turn signals and break lights? Or is that a different module.

mechanically speaking, would the LT4 bolt up to the motor mounts and the torque tube?

Seems like a lot of work for a motor that's going to easily heat soak and make limited power compared to what an LS engine will do. My advice would be to get a built LS motor and then put a blower on it if you want. The LS9 can easily make 1,000+HP in stock form, and a built LS3 could do the same/more. For that matter, you could have a built engine done for less than buying an LT4 crate motor. You could do a built LS3 for less than $10K, which you could then throw a blower of your choice on to make big HP.
