Well if you are going to emascualte the LT1 by removing the injection system, here is what you need.
Wiring harness and stand alone ignition controller to control the optispark
Intake and carb
If you have headers on your small block now, they will work... won't match perfectly, but your on a budget right? If not, use the LT1 exhaust manifolds.
If you plan on running A/C you'll need to either a: box your crossmember for clearance or b: relocate your A/C compressor to the top of the engine.
If A/C is not an issue for you, then you can remove the compressor and run a 1LE A/C delete pulley in its place to keep the same belt on the engine.
Nothing special needed for engine mounts, your existing V-8 mounts will work.
Rad hoses wil be different.... after you get the engine in place, bend up some coathanger to replicate the shape of hose you need and go down to your local chain auto parts store and dig around till you find something close.
That'll about do it....
Now if you do the right thing and retain the injection ,you'll need:
High pressure fuel system and return
PCM and wiring harness. Reprogram PCM to eliminate VATS and correct gear ratio etc.
MAF and intake ducting
The A/C and hose stuff mentioned above.
Now depending on how much of the original LT1 you have it MAY be cheaper to retain the injection setup instead of putting a carb on it... Your Gen 1 intake manifold from your dead engine will not fit the LT1.
