yeah its a retrofit, you gotta change a few tiny little things...cant remember what they are right now, but anyone with average fabrication skills should be able to handle it.

all you have to do is put the LT1 wiring harness and computer in with the engine. All GM motors bolt to GM trans so the trans will be fine. The LT1 computer will cover everything for you.

As for the fuel pump just get an external electric fuel pump. All you need is to keep a consistant 40psi and you will be fine... look through a summit or jegs for the pump....
