Default 3800 to 350 swap

I have a 01 camaro that i put a older rebuilt 350 carbed motor in. the problem i have run in to is the carb is partially under the cowl. has anyone done this swap before and if so what are my options at this point?

I had 700R4 tranny that im using for now. everything worked out fine with that. the car starts, and goes through all the gears. but theres no room for a air filter, which didn't even cross my mind till it was to late. Hind sight is 20/20 unfortunetly.

I found this, Its with a Tubular BMR K-Member that is designed for old school SB and BBs. Not a whole lot of room for air cleaner. I would really injoy replacing the spark modual in that bad boy.

How did you handle the Motor mounts/Frame issue?

A friend actually had specs on where the new motor mounts needed to be placed!
