1990 305 TBI to 1993 350 TBI

hey i have a 1993 silverado 350 that i was thinking of switching with my firebird 305. the firebird and silverado are both TBI but the silverado has a 4l60 tranny and my firebird has a 700r4. what would i have to do to make this swap work and how much money should i be looking at spending on this?

Thanks.

Switching the engine is mostly straightforward. Switching the trannies is more involved.

The TBI forum has all the details for the 350 swap in the stickies.

Guess I should expound on the tranny comment. A '93 truck 4L60 should be the 4L60E, even though f-bodies didn't get them until '94. You need the PCM, or an aftermarket box, to run the "E" version.
