Pontiac Swap

Hi guys, long time member, first time poster. I just purchased a damaged '89 Pontiac Formula with a 350. I actually want to put most of the components (Formula not fixable) into my '68 Pontiac LeMans. I know the engine and drivetrain will fit, but what about the brakes, steering box, suspension, rear-end, and so on? Any advice is welcome to include websites or clubs.

From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
Not much else fits, and some modifications will be required to accommodate the engine and transmission (mostly transmission, fuel, wiring, etc.).

The 1st gen rear is stronger than a 3rd gen rear.

The aftermarket supports 1st gens pretty well.
