The engine mounting is pretty straightforward; you can go to a bunch of Camaro web locations (and to EBAY) to find plates that let you use "standard" Chevy 350 motor mounts on this engine. The biggest problem (in my opinion) will be the stock computer and how to adapt it. These things are OBDII so they monitor everything, including your wallet.
For simplicity and cost reasons, you might consider one of two approaches: (1) there are some wiring harnesses being introduced that adapt a Mercury Marine MEFI4 controller to the engine. One source is UMI Racing in Phoenix. Painless might be another. Using the MEFI, you still have the economy of injection but the simplicity of getting rid of OBDII.
Another direction is to use the Edelbrock/MSD setup that lets you put a carburetor on the thing.....a step back to the last Century (the 20th) and not the best economy route.
Me? I'd go MEFI4 and cruise.
