I know you have to change the wiring harness and the k-member to match the LS1 motors. I think I also read somewhere that the Transmissions are physically different with the input shafts and bellhousing bolt patterns.

Swapping an ls1 into an lt1 is no small feat.... Everything is different from the wiring to to the engine bolts. The cradle will have to be swapped along with the complete wiring harness and fuse boxes. You will also need to do some dash requiring to get the gauges to work properly. The trannys are also different the input shafts are not the same length Ã*nd therefore cannOt be used. If you go on google and search username "the merve" you awfully find all you need he is a member on ls1tech and has done the swap many times
