Thoughts on Putting in a 350 Crate Engine with 408 HP

Thoughts? Would this be an easy swap? What else do I need, new computer or just a new chip? What about anything for the engine it's self? Do I have to replace anything like the rear end? I'm rather new to the whole project car thing so any help would be appreciated.

no take all that out, a carb is intended to be used on this motor as most crates
easier to tune with a carb. carbs are just as good as fuel injection. i only favor carb for the ease of tune. if ppl are going to start the fi vs carb bullshit just look at top motorsports, majority use carbs.
whatever route u take enjoy and have fun =]
