Default Installing a L98 engine in a 1975 C3

I am looking at installing a L98 in a 1975 C3 and am wondering if anyone out there can be of some help with this. I have the complete engine but do not have any wiring or ECM with it so i am looking to try and find out what it is that i am going to need and where i might be able to find it.

Also looking to try and find out what i might be able to do in order to get more HP out of it at the same time.

Thanks

just visit a junkyard, find a tpi motor and pull everything off of it. if you can access the gas tank, pull the fuel pump assembly, those things are pricey new
