Later '60E's(and variants, '65, '70, etc, etc) have a removable bellhousing. And as stated, the Camaro bellhousing will work to facilitate this mindless, ignorant, retarded swap. OP has the right idea- LS truck engine for the win.

the s10 with the 2200 will bolt any of their transmissions to a 3800.. Just need to make sure the flexplate spacing is correct.

The manual s10 would probably be a bit easier to do a swap in, and there are a few different 5speeds you can put behind it, some stronger than others.
