91 350 into my 70?

Hey guys, I have been browsing the forum for quite some time, just haven't piped in much since joining. I bought a '70 C10 LWB a while back...PO said it had a 'new' GM Goodwrench crate motor with a 'new' TH350.

Long story short, the motor blew on the 2nd day owning it (I even checked that it had oil)..so I've pulled the engine/trans a few months ago.

While looking into crate motors, I just want the truck running for now.
Locally, someone is selling a 'running when pulled' 91 Suburban 350 for cheap. It was over heating, he pulled over, and didn't run it anymore. Thinks its just the head gaskets. Said there was no external leaks and ran smooth right before being pulled.

Will this engine swap directly into my '70 C10? Fuel pump housing, cool locations, etc?

I've already discussed some of the newer Vortec 350s swapping in (96+)
but they're not cheap enough to gamble, where I can just get a new crate motor for the price.

thanks for any info and if this is in the wrong area, please move it. I searched the site for similar keywords/swaps and didn't come up with much specific to my case
