The PO removed the 6 from a 1957 chevy and installed a 327. The 6 was fresh with only a few 100 miles on it when it was removed. The body repair is door hinges so the doors don't sag when open, one lower fender corner, and a spot over the pass side tail light that is not a must fix. The engine and trans will be the hard part after that is done I'll replace the glass and do a brake job, they still have pressure after being parked for about 10 yrs. The wiring is going to be a problem since the panel was used as a Moonshine truck and had tanks and valves mounted inside with lots of extra wires. It'll be fun and my kids are looking forward to it. I also have a GMC truck to sell to help fund the "Moonshine Panel". I think its easy to do all of this, I don't envy you having to dop a frame swap.
