I'm doing the same swap. I'm going with a C-6 trans, I'll probably go with a FMS aluminum driveshaft and have it shortened if it need it after everything's installed. As far as headers, motor mounts, and other swap parts, I'd go to D&D Automotive Specialties website(not sure what the address is, I'll try and find out). They have motor mounts, trans parts, headers, k-members, etc. I got a pan for the swap from jeg's for somewhere around $150, make sure you get the oil pump made to go with the pan also. As far as the radiator, I'd get an a Griffen or another aftermarket radiator, I'm not sure the stock one would give you sufficient cooling. You'll probably have to go to manual brakes, the motor doesn't look like it will clear the brake booster (D&D has kits for converting to manual), You may be able to keep the power steering, but I've heard people have problems with the stock steering shaft hitting the headers, one guy said he got a shaft from Flaming River that worked good. I'll probably be doing the swap over the winter, let me know if you run into any problems fitting the motor/trans,etc.
