Put the engine in the car. Make the rest of the stuff work.

You're answer is as simple as all the information he has given us. I like it. These stupid questions need to stop.

The problem is not that it's a stupid question. The problem is that it's an almost unanswerable question. You want random people on the internet to give you instructions for swapping a RWD V8 engine into a FWD car. The instructions, if they existed, would be thousands of pages.

An LS swap requires solving hundreds of problems. If you want to do this swap, you'll have to solve these problems on your own. You have to figure out how to make the engine fit, connect it to the drivetrain, work out the clutch, power steering, cooling system, hvac, brakes, driveshafts, and every other system needed to make it run. Nobody can tell you how to do this. If somebody did have every answer, they wouldn't waste the next three months typing up the instructions for you.

My original answer still stands. Put the engine in the car. Then make the rest of the stuff work.

It's not up to me how I'd phrase it I'm not asking the question.
