What are you looking for? A search in the Disc Brake forum on "LS1" finds 86 threads. One specifies that the LS1 calipers are similar to the C5 calipers and specifies the differences... and a search on "C5*" (since you can't search on only two letters) finds another 31 posts.

This is specific to the C5 conversion, but may give an idea of what you would need to do:

1bad69, I have tried this same question on several forums with no luck. No one makes an adapter plate that I have found. I decided to go ahead and try anyway and began the project this week. I will post photos when done, but it appears fairly easy.
I took my stock one piece rotors and cut off the hat and rotor which left a lovely hub. I had the hub turned today and the LS1 rotor fits nicely. I then cut the ears off of the spindles and test mounted the caliper. It looks good and the bracket will just need maybe a 3/8" spacer, which is the same as wilwood supplies with their kits. Tomorrow I will pick up some 1/4" flat stock and start fabricating the bracket.
Oh, the holes you use to mount the conversion bracket are the old dust shield holes. They will need to be drilled out to at least 7/16" and re-tapped.
