Question 91 camaro 305 rs--> GN v6 swap?

PLEASE HELP! IF YOU CAN READ IT YOU CAN WRITE BACK!
I have a 91 camaro rs that is really slow. I was thinking of saving up n buying a 350 and building it but my friend has an 87 GN and is taking the motor out soon to put another one in.
I know this has been done before so can anyone tell me every thing I will need if I want to do this? Besides the whole motor and turbo of course.

It's been done before and I am sure it's easier than fitting a GN motor in an RX-7. Check out the posts in the hybrid section, I believe there is even a link to a magazine article about that swap.

Be prepared to spend $3000-5000 on the swap.

so much easier and cheaper to just build a 383. find a decent 350 block, which you might even have buried in your backyard, and go from there. run the longest rod you can afford. TOO EASY.

.... this wouldn't be considered a junkyard buildup, and 3-5 grand isn't much in the world of Hot Rodding!
