Default 1981 Camaro engine swap

I have an 81 Camaro that im trying to sell. I have a buyer who wants to put a 350 in it, it currently has a V6, now all of a sudden he talked to a friend of his who told him he wouldnt be able to put the 350 in it unless he moved the firewall back. I didnt think that chevy made two different body sizes in the camaro, shouldnt a 350 fit with only small changes.
Also if anyone is interested its still for sale until he deceides to give me money, its an 81 with 26k original miles, excellent condition. The only thing I cant figure out is a slight vibration when you put your foot on the brake and have the car stopped. Someone suggested that it might be a vacuum line, but havent had the time to check into it.

All He may have to do is to use V8 frame and motor mounts for a 1970 1/2 thru 1981 small block Camaro.

if he has ther time and money he could just roll the front frame of a v8 camaro under it and thats all it would take also he could change the motor mounts and rad from an 8 car and drop the v8 in as well.
