Check out Google, it has been done many times before, there a heaps of different builds. It will depend on how you want to do it. Anything is possible, it just depends on your budget.

There are even pre-made engine mounts that you can buy for some models.

***EDIT: One thread per subject is enough, your other one asking the same question has been removed.***

Golden rule with SBC/LS1 conversions - you will NEVER be the first person to try putting one into X car.

Ever.

it's expensive to convert, plus all the upgrades things have to have to cope with the extra weight and speed capacity. Make sure it's what you want, because the resale isn't always good. Then there's the little matter of filling it up. Gas is commonly used, but there are real risks with it and annual maintenance. Sometimes it's better not to bother. As I've said to others, if you want power, buy a Nissan. The motors are usually bigger and more powerful. I don't comment whether better, just different and there's less of them about. Depends what & where you want to do, after all, it's only lack of money that usually stops things proceeding. Dreams are often better than reality, I'm afraid.
