I just did an 87 tpi 5.0 with 700r4 swap into my 80 malibu, it's alot of work but I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
It's best to call me .

hey sweet thanks!!! what did you use for the fuel system/tank? some recomended me to use a efi tank out of a 4.3 tbi monte.

Yes that is the way to go because it has baffles in it as well it has a vent line out for the vapor recovery, also if you install a walbro in tank pump it will be quieter.
I used my stock tank with an external pump (noisy) as well when I am at or below a 1/4 tank if I go up a hill the pump sucks air (very bad) and because the stock pick up only has 2 fittings on it which I used for the feed and return lines I used a vented gas cap and lost the vapor recovery system.
I used 3/8 feed and 5/16 return lines and if I were to do it again I would spend the money on steel braided because that tubing was a bitch to bend.
