I am taking out the 350 5.7 V-8 in my car and replacing it with a 350 5.7 Corvette engine V-8. Both of them are 1994 engines. What would I have to convert over?

You do not even want to attempt a project like that. Your car was engineered with an operating system for one engine and one engine only. You will end up with a computer and wiring nightmare.

I disagree, you either bring the computer from the vette or put all the sensors on it from the truck. Including the intake manifold.

If you bring the computer from the vette you will have some wiring to contend with.

He'll have a whole lot more than "some wire to contend with"
The Vette is wired entirely differently with numerous circuits that don't even exist in the Camaro.
