It would be difficult for some. Depends on how much you want to engineer yourself. If you were to put a pontiac engine in, I would go for the 455, or atleast a 400 as the dimensions are the same as the 350. With most in the pontiac crowd, a 350 is flower pot.

EVERYTHING is different. And there's no way a TPI intake would fit on a Pontiac 350.
You'd also need a transmission that has the BOP (Buick Olds Pontiac) bellhousing pattern, or an adaptor plate. A Chevy trans won't bolt directly to a Pontiac engine.
I'm a big fan of true Pontiac engines, but not in thirdgens. Just my .02
