You need a lot of time, money, and fabricating skills.
Here's a journal of someone who's done a BB swap.

A 3rd Gen Camaro will be easier to stuff a big block into compared to a 4th.

Now that is a cool idea. A mini with a 454. I know the car wouldn't handle well after the conversion, but buy it would be something to behold! If I were doing it, I'd put the BB behind the driver and passenger, driving the rear wheels, radiator and such up front.
