try to source a scrap engine/trans combo like you will use in the end. borrow, rent, buy scrapper etc. then place it in the chassis and see how it fits. like said, the chassis is already set up for a small block chevy and there are adapter plates for a small block to LS swap. if it is from a Camaro you could look into a Camaro LS swap mount kit, that would give you mounts, manifolds, pan if required and possibly a trans X member, which may be modified for your purpose.
worth looking into I would say
otherwise build all your own from scratch.
