Default Advise on 460 swap in a 91'

I have come across a free 460 w/ c6 and I am entertaining the idea of eventually dropping in my 91 Notch. I rode in a 89 hatch with a 460 in it a few years ago and I believe thats as close as I have came to crapping my pants since I was 2 years old. Anyway , I could be dropping 450 hp / 500lbs, without breaking a sweat if i built that 460 even mildly. My question is , exactly how hard is it do perform this swap assuming I have bought a kit with the motor mounts , headers and oil pan? I have heard there are going to be issues with firewall clearance as far as the bellhousing is concerned, also clearance issues with the master cylinder, and I guess I will be needing to do suspension work as well. Also what about a driveshaft? Custom i am guessing. i guess my overall question can be summed up as How hard is it going to be assuming i have all the swap parts together.

Im sorry i dont know much about this but, I dont think i would be to hard concitering you have the mounts headers ext. You will probley have to work on the drivetrain and stuff, but keep asking around and do a google search on 460 conversion.
Hope everything works out, and have fun with the 5mpg gas milage if you do.
