Hey, you'll also need an aftermarket crossmember from either Spohn Performance or Skulte Performance Design (that link is also a tech article on the swap and there are many more out there).. I went with the Spohn it was a little cheaper at 100$, or there is a few guy's who have actually reused theirs by welding it someway or another I don't know anything about it.. You'll also need a box for the speedo to work correctly, I got the Dakota Digital SGI-5, its about 80$ and works better than any others out there.. You'll want a trannie from 94-97 (93's had a different 6th(?) gear ratio so get 94-97).. LS1 trannie's are different and I don't think they fit period.. I also got an LT1 starter, I read somewhere that you could reuse the auto starter but apparently it didn't work.. Most people also wire their reverse lockout solenoid to the brake pedal so the soleonid is energeized when your foot is on the brake pedal and you can slide it right into reverse, or if you leave it discon. it requires a little force to overcome the spring.. thats basically everything plus what you mentioned, unless I forgot something! Good luck..

Depending on the tranny, 12-15.
I got a tranny, clutch for $950. Then just the little extras. somewhere I have a list of the part numbers and cost from Dal.
It was a pretty easy swap, but I would recommend a couple of things, if you use a used clutch, at least replace the t/o bearing. I didn't and have to do that now. Bearing is expensive $95.
