305 TBI to 400 SBC swap

I am purchasing a third gen camaro that was an automatic and has a 400 SBC in it. It has no transmission. The swap is going to happen within the next 5 weeks. I have a T-5. I heard that the swap is not completely straight forward, so please, if someone could tell me what the problems would be I'd appreciate it very much.

I heard the biggest problem has something to do with the flywheel and the 400. If someone could tell me the issues (switching to carb, thats not going to be a problem) associated specifically with 305 to 400 swaps, please let me know! thank you!

As related in the PM's we traded, that's pretty much it.
