there are ls1 swap kits for the engine mounts and the new tranny mounts you will need. and the rear is 1" wider on each side for a total of 2" too wide. But i think if your planning on useing an LT1, you can use regular SBC mounts.
Ive seen the full interior swap from a 4th gen to a 3rd, looks sweet. I thought about it for a little bit but dismissed because of the work.
Good luck

The hardest part would be hooking up the wiring for the engine, you need the ECM, wiring harness, and possibly interior harness and a 4th gen steering column.

why would he need the column? if hes just putting in a 4th gen motor, he will need the correct wireing and computer yea. but whats the column have to do with anything?? Aside from maybe the VATS system, which could be over run fairly easy. thats if it dosent have its own setup completely seperate from the computer, which i assume it does.
