1992 Camaro RS 3.1 -> 5.7 - Help me out?

Hey guys. I've had plans of throwing a 350 into my Camaro since I bought her. Problem is, up until about 6 months ago, I didn't have a DD to get to and from work. IT was my DD. Now, I have my 2003 F150, and so I don't need to worry about the camaro breaking down, or taking too long for the swap.

Basically, I just want to throw in a carbed 350. I don't NEED any of the accessories. A/C, P/S, any of that, not needed. I'd like them, but it's not needed. All I'm really asking is, how much this is going to cost me. I'd like to get a t-5 or t-56 transmission, but, again, it's not needed. This will just be my fun car.

I know posts like these are posted quite frequently, but.. I would just like some information specifically for me. I mean, I know I need motor mounts, probably a new radiator, but.. What else? Anyone have any kinds of figures? Not including labor, btw.

read the sticky up top on the swap, also there is a thread on going from a 2.8 ~383 that should help out. As far as $$$ goes, it'll all depend on what you do yourself, and how much you can network/score out of j/y or classifieds.
