What all will I need for the swap?
A buddy of mine has a 94 suburban with a 5.7l and 4l60e that I can gut out and use for my 1984 Camaro. So I'm prepared, what all will I need for the engine and tranny to mount up? Will I need to get a new torque arm, because my current one mounts to the tail piece of my 700r4. Is there a way to splice in the suburbans engine harness to my Camaros digital interior harness? Will I need a different drive shaft than my Camaros factory one or is there an adapter? The more detail the better please!

Re: What all will I need for the swap?
it would be easy to just take the '94 350 long block and install using the original non-electronic t700,get a carb intake meant for '87-95 SBC(to use the original carb),and have it running in a couple days.If the Suburban is 4x4,it's tranny will be trouble to use,but good for spare parts.If original carb is used,rejetting and other adjustments will be needed for best results
