94 p/u ls swap and sas

So my 22re is tired and i got a good line on a mid 90's corvette motor. Fuel injected. Other than motor mounts and a new bell housing/adaptor what do i need to do the swap? Do i use my current style clutch and bolt toyota flywheel to ls motor?
Also wanting to be rid of the ifs because pretty much everything needs replacing and want to go stronger / more reliable. Am i just looking at mounting a front axle and leafs off a pre 90's truck? What would i have to do to mount coilovers instead just weld mounts to axle?
Any info or input would be greatly appreiciated. Thanks.

I suggest doing a bunch of research, not trying to be mean, but there's a lot of work involved doing a sas, and engine swap, not to mention time and money. The engine swap/sas is going to affect all the systems in your truck. Electrical,
steering, cooling, exhaust, fuel system, clutch, brakes, suspension (don't forget you'll have to lift the rear suspension to match the front.)
Here's a few links to help you out:

You also need to decide just how your going to get all the chevy engine power to the ground.

Do you want to build it correct from the start or replace the drive train as it is destroyed .

Research then think then repeat several times
