Default LSx Swap Help

Does anyone have a list of required parts/mods to bolt a LSx Engine and 6 speed tranny into my currently stock 68 Camaro? There is no engine in the camaro currently but there was a 350 installed when I purchased the car. Thanks in advance

dont forget pedals, and i think your going to have to modify your trans tunnel. not sure about the driveshaft situation either. i think you may have to notch your frame for the a/c compressor if your going to use it.. i dont know about all this for sure but ive been researching the swap alot lately and its just some things ive heard..

Thanks, I appreciate it....I am going to reasearch it some more to get all the details, but this is good enough feedback to give me a general idea of the main parts I need to purchase and mods that i'm going to have to make
