ALOT!!!! This engine is made for tranverse applications and we are at wits end trying to put one in a 57 Caddy. We wish we had never started! The oil pan will NOT fit and the water pump in on the wrong end meaning all kinds of kinky plumin to do. I highly advise against it. You will have to cut into your front crossmember to do it for the first shot out of the bag!
Do a LS1....now that would be easier, faster and more befitting in my opinion.

I don't know if this applies to the northstar or not, but I think on the older Caddy's, you could use oil pans out of another Caddy that would be configured differently.
