You only need to pick the engine you want. New engines mounts, new or used wiring harness modified, new trans traverse, new output shaft, new rear end, t56 6 speed manual, new radiator, new hoses, electric cooler, new flow tank, new fuel pump, new exhaust and it goes on and on. Just did it for a customer, he had the 2,8 v6 and upgraded to 383.

Everything you need for parts numbers and what not are listed in the GM F-body Factory Service Manual.. Since this is nothing more that a factory upgrade from a V6 to a V8. You will find many have done it and posted there thread of doing it one way or another.
Many well just tell you to just buy a V8 car.. and avoid the work as the V8 cars are getting pretty cheap now.
If not, get a Donor car and pull everything out and transfer it into your V6 car. That way you will have every thing.
Hmm buy a V8 car just to strip it and put it all in to another car ? seem like a lot of work for what you end up with (cost wise).
.. wow, I coulda had a V8.. !

I looked into this 2 or 3 years ago and to do a good complete swap the only affordable way to do it would be with a complete V8 donor car, and i'd have to be one hell of a deal for you to come out ahead of just trading you v6 in for a v8.
