Re: Engine/Trans Swap Questions..
I went from a 250 inline six w/ 3spd manual to a 350/700R combo. There are a lot of little things you'll need. A donor truck that has a 350/350 would be a great thing to find. The brackets/pulleys, etc add up faster than you would believe. The metal stands (engine mount) that bolt to the frame are different for the straight 6 and V8 trucks, so you'll need those, and the automatics have a rear mount cross member, the manual trucks have a front mount and it's a pain to get out because it's riveted in. Automatic radiator and probably a bunch of other crap I've forgotten about...
Looking back, I had a GREAT running 250 as well... I wish I would have known the camaro/s10 5spds are almost a bolt in job... I would have left my 250 and put a 5 speed behind it. Just tossing that out there.
