LS7 engine swap

Hi I've been looking at GM LS7s and although it's a long way off (I haven't even bought the car yet), would there be big problems in getting this into a F Body Camaro?(apart from the car handling the monster power and torque)
I think as I'd be spending massive money on the engine I'd also give it a new tranny, any tips as to what to pair to an LS7?(BTW I want a manual)
I'm saving up for all this kit right now but it's something I really want to do someday!!

Want to make the car the best possible-no external mods though.Want a wolf in sheeps clothing

Dunno if this'll ever get off the ground so someone please encourage me!

Pretty much a LSx swap. The LS7 is throttle-by-wire, you'll have to figure that out or get a throttle body with cable control.

T56. A Viper T56 would handle more power.
