If you can, then Corvette Z06 brakes would be fairly cheap and are much better than the F-body brakes.

If it were me, I would take the engine, tranny and wiring harness and sell the rest. You will probably make your money back pretty easily. In my area, used high mileage T56's go for about $1K, so that would mean a running 300 HP LS1 for $500!
The rear end in the Camaro is a 7.625 ring gear, no way i would put that under a blazer.

P.S. I just bought a 1995 Z28 with the LT1 and parted it out, and saved the powertrain for another project.
