putting a LT1 in a 67 chevelle ss

I have a '97 LT1 motor and tranny the computer, sensors and wires. I am wanting to put it into this car. What will it take to do this swap and get the motor to start?

It will work if you have the skill to hook it all up.

what I am asking is how to do it?

Here are the best articles I have found.
Good Luck Jim

For something closer to your era, these are from a '72 Chevelle:

Removing the dash to rewire and to mount the ECM:

For the greatest ease, you might want to consider running the LT1 in batch-fire mode, and possibly alter it for a regular distributor and eliminate the Opti (there are several places which will modify the intakes for you).

Hay Blue Bowtie, That might be a '72 Chevelle but the motor sure ain't an LT1.
That's a Tune Port. And there is big difference in the two, both physicaly and electronicly.

Bowtie's reply is very educational to someone interested in the general steps to convert to a newer generation engine. It's not for the Saturday driveway mechanic to do in a day or two. It requires fabrication skills, electronic skills, and tools to match.

My retinas still hurt from seeing a 'Check Engine' light in one of these fine old cars.

Permit me to ask "Why?" Installing a later model small block in a big block car seems counterproductive (never send a boy to do a MAN'S job...). It will also kill the collector value of the car. Is the 396 gone or destroyed? The LT-1 is worth enough to sell and aquire the right stuff for the car.

Just asking...
