Default 2000 camaro engine swap

bought a camaro with a bad v-6 engine. going to drop in a carburated v-8 350 truck engine. i know that i will have to change out the tranny mounts, pulleys, belts, fuel delivery system and probably the driveshaft. am i missing anything else other than some cramming and wedging ?the truck engine is a gm goodwrench replacement for an '86 scottsdale. also not sure if the stock rearend can handle the extra power and the turbo hydromatic 350 ? any guideance or info would be greatly appreciated !

Welcome to the forum.
You'll have to change all of the accessory mounts. And don't forget all of the wiring harnesses and radiator hoses. Might need to put in a larger radiator. Ambitious project but doable. Good luck.

Thanks 73shark for all the info ! I figured it would require a little re-engineering on more than one or two systems ! I just have all these dirt car parts lying around the garage and decided to build a car with them. Found this camaro with a blown up v-6 for $500.00 and thought WHY NOT ? I will post my progress and am positive that I will have all sorts of problems that need help to solve so any future help will be much appreciated ! THANKS AGAIN ! CHEVY ROCKS
