motor swap

I've been coming up with ideas for what to do with my engine. Do i rebuild the 305... do i throw in a 350, do i throw in a 383 stroker... I now have a different idea to throw into the mix.

I'm sure you all know about the 1989 Turbo Trans Am.. Trans am powered by the buick T-type motor... Well... I'm wondering what all i would have to do to throw that motor in my car. Those who know me know i like to be different. I'm rebuilding my 301 instead of throwing a 400 since EVERYONE does that. Now im thinking of dropping the buick t-type motor in my car. So my basic question is what all do i have to do to drop the V6 into my engine bay. If anyone could help with this idea that would be great. I'm gonna do some research to see what was done to the 89 TTA.
