Default 2001 Camaro V8 Swap

So I'm buying an 01 Camaro that has a V6 and and automatic transmission. I'm wanting to put a V8 and a manual transmission in it. What all would I need to make the swap?
P.S. I'm don't care when I get this done, so I'm not too worried about how much it'll cost.

a donor/wrecked 01-02 v8 Camaro with manual trans. 4th gens are engine/trans specific. computers, wiring, suspension, exhaust and running gear are all unique to the engine and transmission. if your willing to cut the body and change gauges and lose control of some things you can get a carbureted 350 to fit. still need front k member from v8

You'd also need a good K-member from an LS car,sad truth is you'd be money ahead and have far less hassle if you just save some money up then sell your V6 car and find a Z28 or SS to buy.
These cars aren't like the older cars where a six to eight or small block to big block were simple bolt in swaps.
