There's nothing special about the swap. The only problem I had was that oil pressure didn't work with our connector. Never made it to the track with the LS1.

I put a 3000 stall converter in at the same time and it would launch like a bat out of hell! Being that the LS1 is almost 100 lbs lighter made a nice difference and also helped with fuel economy so the gas bill won't be as high as you'd think.
