Well, You could start anywhere. click here for a link to Summit Racing Equipment. Found some motor mounts for your swap. I'm not sure about keeping the original tranny, but I read folks drop in TH700 automatics in their rigs.

 

NO YOU CAN NOT USE YOUR FACTORY TRANNY. You have to get one with a v8 bellhousing. You can put any size motor as you want. a 350 will bolt in really easy, and jtr.com have everything you need to know about it. and not dumping $$$ in it and wanting to put a v8 in her isn't the same. v8 swaps arent cheap ($3000-$8000).
