it depends what kind of tb you plan on using it will be alot cheaper to go with a cable driven tb rather than a drive by wire tb also you need to decide what tranny you will be using and what your budget is looking like around 300 for a factory one that has been cut to 800+ for a custom a drive by wire harness i heard was around 1300+

yup pretty much any will work, f-body, vette, or truck. The truck will probably be the cheapest. You may need different plugs for the injectors but otherwise pretty much the same, just get the pcm that matches the harness, and program it.

If you are going to use a TH350 you will have to figure out how to connect the kick down cable to the throttle body or gas pedal.

its gonna be a manual valve body.. does the 350 just bolt right up to the lsx block or are the dowel pins different?

You should be able to gt 5 bolts in. You will need the proper flex plate set up to bolt to the 350.
