You will need the motor mounts uppers and lower for a monte carlo or other gbody with a sbc. You will need a trans that will bolt up to a sbc, headers or mainfolds or which ever you perfer. It doesnt matter about fuel inj because in gbody cars other the the Turbo Buick's non where fuel inj. You will need to make some wireing changes. If you plan on keepi g ac you will need all the brackets for sbc. It a little bit of work but it will work.

The truck should have a long tail trans so your driveshaft won't work with that trans unless you get it cut down and the headers more then likely won't fit either

First off headers from a silverado will not work. Manifolds?
Second the motor mounts also will not work. Car mounts have a different mounting position.
As far as wireing you will use the cars exsisting wireing you will just have to make a few changes here aNd there.
If the Trans is a th350 sort tail or 200r4 your driveshaft will work any thing else it will not.
