Get your money out....
Start getting your parts together!
The hard part is done. Now, it's just the piddly-a$$ crap left.
Use an SBF/LS1 T56 bellhousing kit.
For the trans: Probably best to order it from a remanufacturer or custom house. unless you can pick one up at a cheap price and have it rebuilt.
It needs an LS1 tailshaft extension housing (if you need a HD unit it will cost to have it modded).
Mid-plate LS1 or Viper (use appropriate slave and throw-out brg.).
1/2" spacer ring (If using the McLeod bell-housing kit, use either "no fork" or "9 o'clock fork hole".
I can't stand the oem LS1 shifter and knob(it's too long, and looks like crap) I got a Hurst shifter and re-used my 5 speed handle/knob.
If your car is an auto, then you will need a new brake & clutch pedal set. Also, a master cyl, and modify the neutral safety start circuit. Oh yeah, a new hyd hose and reservoir.
A GM pilot brg (sleeved to fit ford pilot hole)
Some sort of speed signal changer.
A new driveshaft.
Wiring pig tails to splice into your harness.
new clutch and pressure plate.
A trans mounting pad.
And new isolators (2 sets)
If an auto, manual trans flywheel bolts (6)
Pressure plate bolts (6)
There's your money...
Now comes the work.......
Then you need to modify your cross-member and/or floor pan for a good mount. May need to cut the tunnel also.

So where are we at?!? Because you know when you figure this out, I'm going to steal it and give you credit while I drive my 6spd too. lol
