That looks like a twin of Farmtruc's..... The owner of this forum has a Chevy version, close in years, shortbed regular cab in the works with lots of "Go Fast Parts" in store for it

Nitrous did a swap in the similar body style. Do a search for his threads and posts, a wealth of info

Good Luck

Start by getting a LS1 or GenIII engine instead. There are a lot of resources here to help you out and you are going to have to do all the same labor to do the LS1 as you do to convert to an LT1 plus there are better tuning solutions for the LS1 based engines...
