1. You will have to reinforece the firewall to keep the clutch pedal from pushing thru.
2. You will have to modify your trans tunnel/hump and relocate the tranny crossmember.
3. Buy an adapter plate for the bellhousing if you don't have an LS(Gen III/IV motor)
4. Hook up a clutch pedal for the clutch.
5. Shorten your driveshaft
6. Change your rear gears, because if you don't 6th gear may be virtually unusable.
There's a few other small variables in there, but that's pretty much it.

Do you have to reinforce the firewall if you use a hydraulic throwout bearing?
