Default camaro build

Hey all... I'm a newbie to this site, I have a 1995 Camaro V-6 (not for long) I'm planning a 540 swap, I already have the 540 lol and the car,
(mint mint never seen a drop of snow Camaro) I'm collecting my parts over time, as I'm budget conscious and in no way rushed to complete it. I've heard good things about the BMR k-frame conversion kit (BMR feel free to chime in) I need to know what kit to order to make this as painless as possible, also what headers do I get for said swap, I'm using my AK Racing Powermax heads on the 540, they have raised exhaust ports. hope this doesn't affect header fitment.
Thanks y'all.... and GO!!!

I think this may be the wrong forum for this? I think most people here will tell you to sell the 540 and get an LSx something. I'm assuming the 540 is a BBC, which sounds like it may be a tall block, which makes for an extremely tight fit in a 4th gen. I would say nothing will bolt in and most parts will be custom fabricated pieces.

I could be wrong, but good luck!
