I did a swap similar to this, so I might be able to help some. Hopefully, you haven't cut any wires. You should be able to plug in most of your engine parameter connections and reuse your stock gauges. If they don't plug in, make them plug in. If you can use your stock oil pressure switch on the SBC, then you can use all the stock fuel system. If your car has a return style fuel system (not sure on the '02), then make sure you get a return style regulator. I would imagine you're going with a carb. You didn't say.
You should be able to use 90% of the stock connections including the wiring for the starter.
Make sure you test fire your motor before you put the k-member in. It'll be fun pulling the distributor. In fact, make sure you buy a BRAND NEW quality distributor because you will not want to be taking it out.
I second the statement to buy a good dist. Of course I also suggest for you to look under my screen name and pull up my topic's/post on how you can pull a dist. in a 4th gen that has a BBC in it. I figure if you cut your cowl like mine you'll be fine even though I'm running a BBC and your looking at a SBC.
