I think it would require a fair amount of work that would not make it cost effective....

I talked to Andy at ADM and they are buying a complete LT4 crate engine and then selling the stock LT1 with low mileage through engine swap channels. For now this is more economical for them. The LT4 has upgraded crank, rods, valves, fuel pump system, and reduced compression ratio. If you can sell the LT1 at a fair price the complete LT4 is a bargain at $12K.

That link is a good read. The LT4 is a serious engine. This link has come up somewhere else but here it is again with a complete turn key package price:

This is being worked on as we speak. More than one builder. Much to look forward to and using mostly all factory parts.

I'll run my LT1 on twin turbos for a while with low boost but suspect I'll end up wanting more power.... When that time comes I'll get a crate LT4 and have a supercharger for sale.
