TBI to LT1? Need some questions answered

I own a 1988 Camaro SC with the 305 TBI engine in it. It has the 4 speed transmission it came stock with. The only real aftermarket modifications I've done is a Flowmaster exhaust system, where I removed the cat and ran 3" to an 80 series muffler, with 2.5" out. But I've wanted some more power, and another Camaro Tech guy I know suggest putting a 350 TPI engine into my car, seeing how you can get them for a decent price and they have decent power. But I was wondering, is it possible for me to put an LT1 engine out of a Fourth Gen into my Camaro? If I did do this, what else would have to be changed on my car? I'm somewhat in the dark when it comes to engine swapping, so any help would be great!

The swap is fairly straight forward. Read the LT1 swap FAQ and LT1 wiring for dummies at the top of this board for more details.
