Do I need anything special to put the LS1 engine into my 79' trans am?

I was looking at engines on some web sites and one of the engines that I was looking at was the LS1 engine I would LOVE to be able to put it into my trans am but I was wondering if I needed anything special such as special mounts or anything? I was also wondering if anyone out there has done this before? Thank you very much

yes you need different mounts for the motor and trans (if you plan to use it) it wouldn't be too hard to make your own if you have the means but ive never done it myself thow any how, not sure off hand who makes it but their is a kit for third generation f-body's im sure they make it for the second gens too just search Google

As metioned, mounts for engine. you'll also need a different transmission and driveshaft (probably custom made)

So would a 4L60E transmission fit into the firebird cause I found some transmission crossmembers for an ls1 engine with this tranny?
