Original engine (gone) Chevy V8 350 carburated
Gear: Muncie + NP 205

Engine found
Chevy camaro 1997 V8 350 LT1 Multi port fuel injected electronic controled

All small block bell housing mounts are the same gen 1 and 2. The LT1 is a Gen 2 design. Outside of the heads and cooling flow difference, a LT1 will bolt right in and work. However, LT1's cooling system is a reverse flow compared to the standard small block setup, so you'll have to adjust for that. Plus going with the fuel injection will require adapting a computer and harness to your truck plus and upgrade to the fuel system with an electric pump and high pressure lines.

The engine is with the harness and ECU, what modification I need to do for the reverse cooling system? I want to put an electric fan too

for the reverse flow coolant you need to make sure you have the radiator connected so the flow goes from top to bottom (in on top , out on bottom) and the water pump is what came with the engine (reverse flow). for the electric fan just make sure you get one rated for the engine/radiator size and you should be ok
