Are you looking for slime-lisp-implementations? The example from the  
docs looks like this:

(setq slime-lisp-implementations
           '((cmucl ("cmucl" "-quiet"))
             (sbcl ("/opt/sbcl/bin/sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix)))

The one at top will be default, I think you run slime with a prefix  
arg to autocomplete choose from different implementations.
