What all would I need for this

Hello folks, its no news that fuel is rising, and my 327 HO isn't giving me good mileage. my T5 is also on the verge of going too, so im looking to get this:

Can anyone tell me what all else I would need to make a successful swap into a carbed car? I need a total to run with before we do this, just got a new job so I should be able to afford it, im just going to be borrowing some first and need to know how much. Thanks a lot!

Tad.

Yikes! Why would you pay Hawks $4500 for that? You can buy a complete running LS1 4th gen car for that! And then either drive it, or yank the motor/tranny out and part the rest! The Hawks combo is simply a take-out used setup ... same as you'd do yourself.

Hawks is out of there mind lol are people actually paying these prices for an ls1 T56! Get real 3000 brand new. Hawks is greedy.
