the lt1 is just a bout 6 inches longer in the front.. take out the clutch fan and put in an efan and there you go.. it fits the same. motor swaps are a pain.. not to mention he has an electronic tranny so you would have to have a way to controll that with the new motor imput or put an older tranny, ie 700r4 in it. just spray and call it a day, you will get high 13's out of it
