You will need a computer, wiring harness, fuel lines, exhaust manifolds, exhaust plumbing, intake plumbing, radiator, and fans from a 94 Z28. Also you will have to change the B body water pump to a F body water pump, and may also need the accessory drive bracket from a Z28 (not sure about this). I hope you bought the 5.7 V8 engine, and not the 4.3 V8 engine, as they both look the same externally. The 4.3 were used extensively on Caprices and was only good for 200HP. The B body 5.7 is equipped with cast iron heads, instead of aluminum heads used on the F body. You may also consuder changing the camshaft, as the one used on the B body is set up for big low end torque to move the heavy cars, which is not beneficial in the much lighter F body.

Looks like you got a good deal. The front crossmember/ engine cradle is the same for the V6 and the V8, the rear crossmember should also be the same, but I am not positive. Also you will need to change the driveshaft from a 2 piece to a 1 piece.
