Well, anything is possible with enough $$. You can, but it involves a head swap to the LT1 heads. Then you have to drill the ends of the heads and plumb to a remote thermostat housing as the LT1 intake does not have the front water ports or t-stat/radiator hose mount. I remember the result in the article was a decent HP gain, but a loss in torque.
As someone already said, a TPI swap would be a better choice. The TPI intake is awesome for torque.
Swapping in the entire LT1 would be easier than trying to swap just the intake, but then you have do deal with all the LT1 issues.
