well anytime you swap a sixer to an eight, your gonna want to find a doner car. Youll need
engine mounts, fuel lines, radiator, hoses, computer, wiring harness, all the sensors, and about a few thousand little peices.
youve further complicated the mess by switching to a TH350, which will probly nessesitate a custom driveshaft. the exact length i dont know off the top of me head.
a suggestion on where to look for answers is
www.fbodymotorsports.com, they have very extencive knowlege of third and fourth gen camaros, will be able to answer most of your questions, and will also probly have all the parts youll need to pull the swap off.
