torch will ease the use of the bfh!
The swap is pretty straight foreward. Most of the info is available on line. Do your research. if you have specific questions I'll try to help.

My son and I did all the overhaul and fab work, and thanks for asking. What drove the cost up was my desire to have some non engine things like a new fuel tank, I used a radiator out of a 4th gen, the tranny alone was a grand. Plus things like a high pressure fuel pump, -6 lines, the harness was $500 and those thousand little things that I didn't get with my $200 "deal" like brackets, an alternator, power steering pump, an Opti, and that damn little hose from the PCV valve to the intake manifold that my Chevy dealer charged me $10 for.

If I did it again I would go with my original idea, find a complete car first! Sound like you are miles ahead of where I started, but man did I enjoy doing the swap, especially the first 200 ft burnout in front of the house.
