First advise is push the "caps lock" key.
Second you can do anything your heart desires. Money always helps

He answered your question just not directly. You can make anything fit as long as you have the money. I may be wrong but a lot will be involved with the swap hence his comment of "Money always helps".

I will agree with Mike, and add:

Stay in school.

Yes, the LS1 will fit. Yes, a 350 tranny will fit. However, there are better options that will be cheaper and easier. Retrofitting an LS1 into an '83 won't be cheap; I'd say find an old IROC or Z-28 with a 350/700R4 combo. Either carb or TPI, but carb'd is probably what your car was originally, and will therefore be easier to replace.

Just to start. I am not 100% posative but you may need to modify the cross member at least to clear an a/c compressor. The oil pan will also need modification. I think Canton Racing makes a mount kit and oil pan for the swap. There are others but Canton comes to mind.

Why the 350 tranny? A 700R4 is superior, and probably came stock.

Do you think when you get to Berkley they will teach you to spell and that the use of all caps is considered impolite?
I hate the text message era and I assume you meant to use the contraction for "I have". Where does the "ou" come from???
