and i also a lot of questions for it:
i have a turbo350 tran in it, will it bolt straight to it?
will i need to get new headers for it?
literally need a list of everything i need to get it working.
can i use parts such as the carb, intake, fan, ect from the old engine?
should i get new fuel lines and cooling lines (rubber hoses)?

First of all...excellent engine choice..IMO
A 350 turbo WILL bolt straight to the 350 sbc
Was the engine you blew up a 305?
Not sure about the headers or intake fitting from a 305 to a 350...Your fan should be ok as long as the bolt pattern is the same.
I would go with all new rubber hoses (fuel and cooling). If you had shrapnel, anything that carried fluid, IMO, should be changed to decrease the risk of getting it in the new engine. If you will be using the old water pump from the old engine, make sure that is flushed out as well and maybe use a wand magnet inside the intake and output just to make sure there is no loose metal shavings. In fact, if you can afford it, I would probably just get a new one.

I think the headers should fit,ive heard of people putting 305 heads on a 350 block,using 454 injectors on a 350 and a few other things but I know for a fact a 305 starter wont work on the 350,i used one and it caught fire until I realized the guy at autozone sold me the wrong one

Like Barbara said make sure you go through everything and clean it up good,all the hoses should be replaced and if your going to use the old radiator id make sure to flush it many times or just replace it

Thank you guys I'll definitely flush out as much as I can. The engine wasn't a 305 because when I went to get a started for it it totally wasn't the started for a 305 apparently as I was told it's a truck engine. I'll replace the hoses as well

And what do you guys think about the other engine from summit? It seems to be the same thing just $500 cheaper
