LS1 build in Camaro

I am returning to the F-Body community after a 6 yr hiatus with ford. I am getting ready to do a ls1 swap into a 3rd gen and am looking for a shell. My question is I found a 84 original 4cyl car cheap. Only bad thing is its a hard top. Since I'm going to swap 4th gen interior,motor,rear end and brakes. Is there any issues I need to worry about since it was a 4cyl car? The guy that has it now put a 305 and th350 in it. Any help would be greatly appreaciated...

Thanks
Dennis

Re: LS1 build in Camaro

Nice. I'm going to do body work first. Iroc clone black with black Iroc wheels and a targa top(maybe). I'm just going to buy a complete wrecked 4th gen for my conversion. I hear that is the best way to do it. I thought about black zr1 wheels but I like the look of the iroc wheels better. If anyone out there that has done the swap has any advice for me it would be great.

Thanks
Dennis
