engine help please....

New to the forum and 1st post
Ive been restoring and working on a 1983 Trans AM Daytona 500 Pacecar. The cars too bad but the engine set up is crap, im sure youll know the system CROSSFIRE
Well now i have decided im keeping her and im gonna do it right
Question is what should i do and which would be easier.
I can get an LT1 complete engine with harness computer block accessories etc etc out of a 94 Fleetwoodbut is an a drop in? Will it work? or option 2 i remove the crossfire intake and drop in a TPI set up,
Either way will cost me about 500 bucks for all the parts labor will be free, i want to do the LT1 but what problems may i have?

As long as you get everything with the LT1, it will drop right in.

everything will fit through?
i know my speedo is cable driven so i shouldnt have any speedo issues and i know the 700r4 is very similar to the tranny used with the lt1 but will the mount up? will the engine mounts work?
