380 crate/318 swap questions

Ok, I have made up my mind to run the magnum 380hp 360cid motor in my '95
slt cc. I'll be removing my 318. I have several questions and anyone who has
answers or contacts I could call please respond.

I would like to run the fuel injection but the motor won't work with my MP
PCM. Does anyone know who does custom programming?
Does anyone offer a 750 CFM throttle body? I found 1000 CFM ones but I'm
guessing that is too much.
If I scrap the FI and run a carb what will the effect be on the rest of the
things that are controlled by the computer (like the tranny) and how do I
bypass all that?
Are the motor mounts and exhaust headers going to bolt right up?
Will I have to modify the radiator or fan assembly to fit or are the external
dimensions of the 360 the same as my 318?
If anyone knows anyone who is running a carburated 380 crate motor please let
me know how to contact them?

Any help is greatly appreciated
