i know you said its a lt1 but we do have a LS swap board

should be able to get an ideal from there
also you can use the search for lt1 and it will help you also

Since it is basically a SBC it will drop right in. Wiring will be the only complication. Are you going to use the electronic shifted trans?

The cooling direction won't really matter in the grand scheme of things. If the motor was in front of an auto you may need the ECM programmed.
