Sounds to me like a fairly easy & painless transformation.
The motor IMO doesn't need much if anything at all. I know that combo very well, I had it in my Camaro. Although I used a 780 Vacuum Sec, ran very hard & extremely streetable. You didn't mention the gears, but with the 5 speed, probably shouldn't be a problem.
The suspension is where you will have to stiffen things up. Shocks, spring rates, sway bars, etc will make a huge difference. It will handle night & day compared to most typical Pro Street cars. As Steve mentioned depending on how much they narrowed the rearend can have alot of impact on what wheel/tire combo you can run. You would hate to run an 10" or 11" wide wheel with a 2" or 3" offset. Wouldn't look right IMO. But then again...It's just my opinion. Have the wheel wells been stretched?
Keep us posted. Sounds like a nice car!!
