On MalibuRacing.com there is a section called LSxTech. There is a bunch of good info and several write-ups of nothing but LSx swaps and info. There is also an EFI section so this is just LSx stuff. The LS - Malibu swap would be identical to a g-body swap.

I dont believe a th350 will bolt up... I know a 700R4 will bolt up, minus one bolt. I had a 700R4 bolted to the LS-1 in my Camaro for a few weeks, before I decided to go T-56. I would recommend using the 4L60e, myself, as they are just as good and have the added feature of being electronically controlled... (Paddle shifters, anyone?) :D

There are several guys on LS1Tech.com that are running a TH350 and a TH400 on the LSx engines. It's not just a bolt up like a conventional engine though. Here's a FAQ page on LS1Tech.com that will answer some of your needed parts questions.
