If you are, or have access to, an electronics guru and a fabricator, it wouldn't be TOO difficult. You'll need all the correct electronics to make the fuel and spark systems work. There is no provision in LS1 for a distributor, and no intakes for carbs. The intake could be fabricated with little problem. I suppose you could adapt a crank trigger system.
Now for the $64 question: "Why?" A 400 makes more power and is cheaper to build (LS1 is no bargain!). I would guess fuel efficiency and weight are the rationale?
Don't misunderstand. I REALLY like LS1. Cool engine! But it's no Pontiac when it comes to power output, at least at the milder levels. In a heavy car, I would think it a bit shy on torque.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
