This swap has been common for about 15 years now so everything you need to know is in the FAQ up top. 5 minutes of searching will answer all your questions.

use the faq up top, lots of info there, but for starters you will need the hydro trans conversion kit, i recommend the hasport kit, pricey but well worth it, and if searching gives you this much trouble i also recommend you contact rywire for your conversion harness if your car is a dpfi, you will need DA shift linkage cut and re welded or buy the hasport one with the mounts, also DA axles or buy the hasport axles.

won't last long?

the only problem with the LS transmission is the gearing.
