K Motion Industries sells a K member for this swap. Never done one myself but I read you will have to modify the trans tunnel and change the drive shaft for starters. All computer and OT sensors ect will need to go in unless you plan and using a carb, I think Indy sells an intake for that.

Pete has done this swap with a 6.1L as have I and a few others.    The 5.7 is an even easier swap.

You will need:
5.7L Engine
Motor mount brackets
Oil Pan / Pickup for your application
Front engine accessories
Wiring harness
PCM
EFI fuel pump / system


This engine will bolt to any small block transmission or bellhousing - it is pretty much scienced out at this point.
