Ya know, just a little bit of advice, it seems to me that you don't have a car yet from the way that you are looking for parts. When ever I want to "play" with a combo that I'm not too familiar with, I try to get a running car or at least one that I can make into a running car to start out. Sometimes this will save a whole lot of time and money and lead to a decision as to how far to go. Some combos just don't come up to expectations (aah, the 2.5 Fiero SE for W/SA).
This Camaro is going to probably run the index OK but to proceed with it, it is going to get expensive in a hurry. The trans isn't going to be cheap at all once you start moving forward. It'll probably need a 7" converter and you're going to have AT LEAST a 12 bolt in it to get enough gear. Best bet would be to find (Good luck!) a Dana 44 service package rear from an 82-83 Camaro.

I have found a fiero but its a 6 cyl. The camaro with a 2.5 already in it is non existent lol. I did stumble across a fairmont 4 door 4 cyl that's very tempting but they want 6k and its bone stock but all there. I think if I can use a 87 s10 2.5 block and 700 r4 (i know the gear ratio is terrible from 1st to second) but that stuff is available I can't find a throttle body but I can't get in touch with anybody from nhra yet to see what I can use as there is no size listed. THE ONE THING I NEED INFO On FOR SURE IS WHAT TO DO ABOUT CONTROLLING THE INJECTOR what aftermarket system I can use and who to hire to get a fuel map. I think I can round up a body and 12 bolt strange has one. The other thing is i don't understand all the rules yet. A guy told me I didn't have to have a 1985 camaro that any body would work I just had to claim it was 1985. With all that said will a 1987 s10 block be legal thank fellas. Ps I'd like to call bill or mark one day or anybody willing to talk and give me a general run down of what and how nhra stock works . My number if any body wants to txt me or call is 704-718-6905
