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".

RE: FIRST CAR NEEED HLEP
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.

I hate the text message era and I assume you meant to use the contraction for "I have". Where does the "ou" come from???
