You should search old threads.
But your going to need transmission, engine, FI, Harness, maybe new guages, Rad, Front springs, and maybe drive shaft.

well lets see, it'll take a mighty load to do the swap, would be worth it, but maybe not as worth it as swaping to a newer LT1 or Ls1` setup, being that you'll have to swap nearly all the same stuff for either. basically the things that were stated earlier will definately be needed, lets see, hmmmm. Radiator (get it from eh, salvage yard, or maybe autozone), v8 motor mounts, engine, computer, (any sensors), computer and wiring harness, transmission for a v8 car, 700r4 would work, along with a six speed, ur choice. Hmmm, lets see , driveshaft will be the same, rear end needs changing if you'd like to, doesn't matter though, (till u break it) and front springs if u want it to handle like a super f-body again, or if u just don't want the front end to sit lower. NO need if u really don't wanna change it, won't hurt anything in the short term. That should be it, everything but engine and tranny could easily be found in a bone yard, i'd say everything but the engine/tranny combo (unless you're doing a complete rebuild on both) becuase u never know what type of hell they've been through.

I don't know why you would bother...IMO it's not worth the upgrade
