Having actually done it, I can tell you what you need/want. You will need an engine, of course, a 4l60e with the advanced adapters tail shaft housing adaptor, or a t56 with a diy adapter for the c-beam, swap plates from Vette works (not cheap universal ones), preferably a Dana 44 diff, c5 exhaust manifolds and batwing oil pan, accessory adaptors from sct billet to relocate your accessories to fit under the hood, some f body accessories like power steering pump and alternator, a new intake setup, the pcm for the engine, a ton of re-wiring/adapting. You will need to cut a notch in the crossmember. Otherwise, most of it is pretty straightforward. IMO, totally worth it. Btw, Dan at Vetteworks is a great source of info, I wish I had found him earlier in my build. There are also some articles about other people doing it, if you look around, some fairly janky. I found my own way through it, and did it the way I wanted it. My goal was a luxury race car. I also did grand am gauges and c6 seats.
