Some really great advice above. Other than that, if you drop an HEI in there, word is to gap the sparks plugs a pinch greater than specs. HEI are awesome, I'm using the same Delco I pulled in 1993 off a 1975ish.
Rear bumper. Well, you need to know the bolt pattern in your frame rails, for brackets. It's probably 5.0" or 7.1" IMO, and if so, the outer brackets are the same, while the inners are per the frame rails.

Thank you! I actually ordered a used bumper and brackets before knowing this detail, ugh. How can I confirm whether it’s 5.0 or 7.1”?
Additionally when I was shopping the brackets, I don’t recall seeing any different version.
When they come in, I’ll post up some pics and cross my fingers they are right.
