BIg Block For 89 Camaro?

I was thinking of dropping a chevy big block into my 89 and was wondering if there are any pages with good how-to installs? Also what would be involved in a swap like that? Body work? any info will be very helpful.
the motor will be fuel injected also.

Try doing a search of the archives. The question has been asked many times already.

87 IROC-Z Pro ET Bracket Race Car
383 stroker (carbed) with double hump cast iron heads and pump gas
454 Big Block almost ready for the 2001 racing season

Best results before the 383 blew up
Best ET on a time slip: 11.857 altitude corrected to 11.163
Best MPH on a time slip: 117.87 altitude corrected to 126.10
Altitude corrected rear wheel HP based on power to weight ratio: 476.5
Best 60 foot: 1.662

Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!
